A GROUP of travellers have set up camp on a Wyre Forest park.
Around seven vans made their way on to the park off Borrington Road, in Kidderminster, yesterday afternoon (Thursday, April 17).
The land is owned by Wyre Forest Community Housing Group, who have been liaising with police and other agencies and have started the legal process to get them removed.
If necessary, this could include the use of bailiffs to remove the travellers from the park.
Police are also monitoring the area and will continue to do so over the weekend.
A spokesman for Wyre Forest Community Housing Group said: “We are aware of the situation and are taking all the necessary steps to resolve it as soon as possible.”
Insp Edd Williams, of Kidderminster Police, said: “From liaison with all parties we are hopeful the situation will be resolved shortly.”
