A LARGE group of travellers has set up camp at a Southampton park.
Around eight caravans have been parked at Weston Shore.
According to residents, they arrived on Tuesday night.
The Daily Echo has contacted the city council for comment.
A police spokesperson said: "We are aware of a small encampment at Weston Shore, Southampton, and our officers have attended to assess the situation.
"The encampment does not currently meet the criteria for the police to use eviction powers.
"Please bear with us as we balance the rights of all our communities with actions that are proportionate, lawful, appropriate, and necessary."
