Travellers are set to be evicted from playing fields after council chiefs obtained a possession order.
About 30 travelling caravans and trucks pitched up at the Waterhall playing fields in Patcham last week.
With sports fixtures interrupted, Brighton and Hove City Council applied to Brighton County Curt yesterday for a possession order.
The local authority said this will enable it to carry out an eviction “as soon as practicable” should the families fail to leave the site voluntarily.
