On 20th August four of us went a’rescueing tents at Weston Park. The scene was messy as ever, as though the 70 000 youn
gsters had just upped sticks and left left their tents, sleeping bags, chairs, packets of biscuits.
We found nothing incriminating although there had been some forty arrests mainly for drug offences. We did mange to salvage about ten tents…..all of which will be put to good use somewhere in the World by our friends at International Aid Trust. Tiring but worthwhile.
