Travellers on Wolverhampton park start to leave as council warns of action
A group of travellers who set up an unauthorised encampment on a popular park in Wolverhampton have promised to leave today.
Six travellers caravans and "numerous" cars and vans were spotted on the football pitches at East Park on Sunday night.
Some of the group have since left, and the rest were expected to leave the encampment by Tuesday afternoon, council chiefs said.
Wolverhampton Council has also committed to take action should the remaining people not leave by 3pm.
A spokesperson for Wolverhampton Council said: "Some of the group left yesterday, with the rest giving a commitment to leave today.
"Officers will keep a check on the site throughout the day and the council will take action if the remaining members of the group have not left by 3pm."
