A SMALL group of travellers have moved on to a Dudley park.

Caravans are believed to have arrived at Woodside Park at around 5pm on Monday (July 24).

Councillor Les Jones, Dudley Council's cabinet member for housing, said: “Officers from the council have already been down there and spoken to the group.

"The travellers have been made aware they are on local authority land without consent, and have been advised they have 24 hours to leave.

“If they do not leave within that time scale we will start legal proceedings to remove them through the courts, using all the powers available to us.”
