Travellers dump rubbish in Oldbury
A group of travellers have left bags of rubbish and churned up turf on a grass verge in Oldbury.
Around 20 caravans descended onto Brandon Way last week, less than a month after they had last took over the spot.
Dozens of white vans, trucks and cars disappeared from the site last Friday but left behind mounds of tyre tracks through turf and mud.
It comes just weeks after Sandwell Council sent environmental officers to clean the site after toilets, doors, windows and bags of household waste were left following a previous traveller influx.
A Sandwell Council spokesperson said: "We are aware of the latest mess that travellers have left behind and the clean up will begin over the next couple of days.
"The grass will need to be assessed."
Councillor Bawa Dhallu had previously told the Express & Star that he was concerned that travellers kept coming to the area surrounding Brandon Way.
He added: "We have moved them from a couple of places recently – it's not good.
"It costs the council hundreds and hundreds of pounds every time to clean up."
On Monday scores of travellers also set up camp on the car park of a community centre in Dudley – just days after dozens had moved off land in parks across the borough.
