Following last week’s article on the Wards, locals have dropped by New Road to speak with them.
The Traveller family had said they welcomed meeting with nearby residents.
Martin Williams visited the site over the weekend and “welcomed them to the village” with a bottle of wine and crate of beer.
In a post on the Spotted in Bromham Facebook page, the Wards said: “Thank you so much to the very kind gentleman who brought these over for us and welcomed us to the village. It means a lot to us we really appreciate your kindness.
"Thank you from Bridget and family.”
Others on Facebook said they would pop over for a coffee in the weeks to come.
The parish council has also issued an update online. They said: “The Parish Council is very disappointed to see the tone and content of recent posts on social media, and strongly condemns the use of such language.
“We would like to make it clear that the use of derogatory terms and aggression either way between the extended community and the Travellers on New Road through social media or in person is unhelpful and not condoned by the Parish Council.”
"Dog issues: Any issues concerning dogs being free on the road or causing harassment and distress to pedestrians and drivers using New Road should go through the correct channels as they would for any dog that is of concern in the village.
"Incidents concerning dogs can be reported to dogs@wiltshire.gov.uk this is a central email for the team involved, Tel: 01380 826323. Unless people are feeling threatened then it is a Police issue.
"The Parish Council is working with our MP Danny Kruger, our local Councillor Laura Mayes and Wiltshire Council Planning and Enforcement Teams to legally address current concerns.”
