Campsite

Reported via mobile in the Park safety issue category anonymously at 16:21, Friday 9 January 2026

Sent to Bath and North East Somerset Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 8658431.

Previously sent messages but location was wrong , sorry . This is Locksbrook road park, Kelsons field. A guy has been camping there for months now, it’s a child’s playground and his tent , dog and the area is getting very messy. Is there no law against this ? Or can I just camp in any park for free and make a mess ?
