An eviction notice has been served on travellers who have set up an illegal encampment in Colwick.
The group has been asked to leave Colwick Recreation Ground by Gedling Borough Council – or enforcement action will be taken.
A hearing us currently scheduled to take place on Tuesday, July 31 at 10am.
A spokesman for Gedling Borough Council said: “We have served eviction notices on the occupiers. We are reviewing the situation on an hour by hour basis, we’ve increased our warden patrols in the area and are working with the Police to increase our presence around the site.
They added: “We want to reassure residents that we are moving as swiftly as the legal process allows to remove the occupiers from the site. We like to thank residents for their patience whilst we continue to make every effort to resolve the situation as quickly as possible.
One resident, who didn’t want to be named, contacted Gedling Eye and said they thought a permanent site should be set up in the area to accommodate the camp in future years.
They said: “This group visit every year. Why not set up somewhere proper for them to go around here instead of this group and the locals being upset each year when an illegal camp is established.”
