Up to eight caravans were spotted at Wakes car and lorry park – a site travellers had been evicted from several months ago.

The car park in the middle of Willenhall is used by mourners, businesses, shoppers and truckers.

Councillor Julie Fitzpatrick, portfolio holder for community, leisure and culture, stated her frustration at the time.

She added: “Officers attended the Wakes Ground car and lorry park on Wednesday morning.

"I do understand the frustration and concern that unauthorised encampments cause, but we must follow the correct legal process."

Travellers were moved on at 9pm Monday night after a court summons was issued.
