    Harrogate Borough Council said today it is to begin court action to evict travellers from land in Knaresborough.

    The council served a 24-hour eviction notice to the travellers five days ago after a large number of caravans arrived on Hay-A-Park Lane.

    But the caravans remained on site today. In a statement, Harrogate Borough Council said:

    "We will now take action through the courts to regain possession of the land owned by Harrogate Borough Council."


    It is not known how long the court action could take.

    Some people have speculated on social media that the travellers will move on for Appleby Horse Fair, which takes place last week.

    One local resident told the Stray Ferret some of the travellers appeared to have left and that the remaining caravans were now pitched in the middle of the field.
