Hide AdThe Common has proved to be a fruitful destination for travellers with the previous pilgrimage to the site in May seeing dozens of caravans and several vans in May.
On that occasion, the leader of Portsmouth City Council, councillor Gerald Vernon-Jackson, said there had been reports of Covid-19 on the traveller's site before they moved on.
