A fleet of caravans had been occupying the field until pressure was put on by the police to move on.  

Oxford Mail:

One local resident said he had even seen ‘human faeces’.

He said: “Wheatley Primary School had travellers break onto the school playing field, they wrecked one caravan in a night of violence that saw one man repeatedly ram another caravan to destruction with his transit van.”

Oxford Mail:

The travellers left the area on Tuesday evening but the mess was only cleaned up yesterday, it is understood.

Oxford Mail:

The resident said the gates to the field have not been blocked and fears the padlocks could be easily broken.
