A group of travellers remains on a popular park after leaving another green space.

About 20 caravans moved into Wild Park, off Lewes Road, Brighton.

Some are believed to have moved there from Surrenden Field, off London Road, Brighton, last Thursday.

The remainder of the Surrenden group headed to the car park of the Waterhall sports fields on the edge of Brighton but was was moved on Friday evening after Sussex Police and Brighton and Hove City Council intervened amid fears a rugby match would have to be postponed.

A group of caravans arrived in Preston Park shortly afterwards.

Brighton and Hove City Council has applied for possession orders at Preston Park and Devil’s Dyke Road, where there are also travellers.

The council has visited Wild Park with the police and was applying for a possession order yesterday.
