A GROUP of camper vans and caravans has set up at a new seafront site after being moved on.

The vehicles parked up behind the Contemporary Art Gallery in Hastings Old Town yesterday evening.

It follows the eviction of up to 50 vehicles from Hove Lawns on Monday, and being moved on from Martello Field in Seaford yesterday.

There were reports of a large disturbance in a Seaford pub on Monday.

Now, more than a dozen of the vehicles have parked in Hastings.

One resident said: "I'm not sure how many there are. The electronic barriers were apparently overriden.

"Two police officers turned up, but walked around then left after 20 minutes."
