Wolverhampton council tsars in talks with Bushbury KFC travellers
Bosses from Wolverhampton City Council were today meeting with travellers after they spent a fourth day on a local authority-run car park.
Around 15 caravans pulled onto car park on Showell Road opposite the new KFC in Bushbury on Thursday afternoon.
Council officials said they were told by members of the travelling community they would be leaving and officers were at the site today establishing if that would be the case.
The site, which is used as matchday parking for Wolves home games during the football season, was used by travellers in September last year.
City council spokesman Gurdip Thandi said: "Officers from the council's public protection unit will be revisiting the site today to meet with representatives from the group of travellers.
"On Friday, they indicated that they would be leaving early this week and we want to ascertain that this is still the case.
"We have not received any complaints about the group from local businesses or residents."
