Travellers leave Walsall Wood site after a week
A group of travellers who set up an illegal camp next to a leisure centre development in Walsall Wood have left the site.
All of the 14 caravans and vehicles that pitched close to the Oak Park site for a week departed after council enforcement officers issued the group with a notice requesting them to leave the land off Coppice Road.
Aldridge North and Walsall Wood ward representative Councillor Gary Clarke said the group had now departed.
Councillor Clarke said: "They left early in the morning but we have no idea where they have gone.
"Residents in Walsall Wood are breathing a sigh of relief."
Walsall Council said arrangements have also been made to clear any debris left behind by the campers.
Travellers recently set up a camp at Aldridge Airport, in Bosty Lane.
