Unfortunately, I need to be in Leamington next Saturday so I'll get stuck in the traffic.

A bit of crime took place, but it looks to be mostly low-level: https://www.leamingtoncourier.co.uk/news/crimes-relating-to-kenilworth-horse-fair-revealed-by-police-1-8492811

I wonder just how much of that crime really was down to the travellers? I know when we've had travellers nearby the crime rate has gone up, but in a few cases it's been the local scrotes taking advantage of the situation.

I think the demise of the Horse Fair has more to do with houses being built than anti-social behaviour: https://www.leamingtoncourier.co.uk/news/kenilworth-horse-fair-will-not-take-place-again-after-agreement-reached-1-8652750
