Solihull Police have thanked Meriden residents for their patience and co-operation as consultation continues over the disputed travellers' site off Eaves Green Lane. Meriden Sector Inspector Keith Portman said police officers would maintain a round-the-clock presence at the site to ensure order and minimise disruption. "We appreciate it has been an uncertain and stressful time," added Insp Portman, "and I'd like to thank everyone for their understanding and co-operation. "Although this is essentially a planning issue being overseen by the council we have a duty to ensure there are no breaches of the peace. We will facilitate peaceful protest but it must be remembered that, as everyone has a free right of passage, it is an offence to deliberately obstruct highways. "I'd urge anyone with any concerns, or who would like clarity on certain issues, to contact police officers on the ground or Solihull Police via 0 345 113 5000. Obviously it's vital any action is taken by the relevant authorities and not individual members of the public."
