Harrogate Borough Council has commenced legal proceedings against a group of Travellers in Knaresborough.

The group set up camp on the rugby field on Hay-a-Park Lane last week.

It is thought that the Travellers were on their way to Appleby Horse Fair in Cumbria. However, the fair started yesterday and Travellers still remained in Knaresborough today.

Officers from North Yorkshire Police have been at the site this morning.

A spokesperson for Harrogate Borough Council said:

“We have commenced legal proceedings and notices have been served.”

Six caravans and several cars arrived on the parkland near to Oatlands Drive on Saturday.

However, the group left the area on Monday.
