A group of Travellers have moved into a car-park owned by Herefordshire Council in Ross-on-Wye.

Herefordshire Council told the Ross Gazette that they are aware of the Travellers and the unauthorised encampment at Kings Acre car park.

A spokesperson for Herefordshire Council said: "Officers from the council are in dialogue with the group and, following a welfare check, will carry out its function in accordance with their delegated powers.

"It is recognised that this encampment is in a location which is used by members of the public; with this in mind the council are acting appropriately to reach a resolution as quickly as possible."
