TRAVELLERS have set up camp at a Hampshire green space.

The group which arrived on Saturday evening are camped at the green space just off Gosport Road in Stubbington opposite the Holyrood Church.

A statement from Fareham Borough Council said: "We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause our residents.

"The law states that we cannot remove travellers from our land immediately but must follow a set procedure to obtain the necessary authority from the Courts to order them to leave the site."

The council added that court proceedings were now underway today to remove them after officers ordered them to leave.
