Out walking my dog this afternoon, as I do every afternoon, I discovered travellers have once again invaded East Brighton Park.

There were 28 caravans, work vans, quad bikes, picnic tables and chairs, with kids riding back and forth over the recently-formed football pitch which has just had goal posts erected and where teams of local children play every afternoon.

They were not there yesterday but already seem very comfortable and well established.

The Friends of Sheepcote Valley has worked hard over the past few years to make this an area to be enjoyed by locals.

Are the travellers there legally or have they once again commandeered an area which we as rate payers fund to clear every time?

What is going to be done about this ongoing problem?
