TRAVELLERS have returned to a car park in Ross-on-Wye this week.

Caravans moved on to Red Meadow Car Park, by the swimming pool, on Tuesday.

At this month's Ross Town Council meeting councillors discussed correspondence from a concerned trader in the town about travellers who came and stayed at the car park.

County councillor and town councillor Richard Mayo is looking at whether a barrier can be installed at the car park, which is owned by Herefordshire Council.

As the car park belongs to the county council it is Herefordshire Council's responsibility to protect its land and resolve any problems arising from an encampment.

Herefordshire Council has given the travellers notice to leave by 4pm on Friday.
