TRAVELLERS who pitched their caravans on a Kidderminster car park have now left the site - avoiding a court appearance.

They were due to attend a hearing for possession at county court today after failing to leave the site in Heronswood Road, by 3pm on Wednesday last week.

It is believed the travellers accessed the car park by driving down an embankment about two weeks ago.

Wyre Forest District Council's parks department is currently clearing up the site.
