TRAVELLERS have moved into a Bournemouth car park this weekend.

Dorset Police received a report of seven caravans arriving at the Littledown Centre car park at around 6pm on Saturday, and there were around ten at the site at midday today.

The caravans are located towards the rear of the car park, taking up around three ‘bay’ areas.

A spokesman for the force said they were liaising with Bournemouth Council.

A spokesperson for BH Live, which owns the car park, said they are aware of the situation and a statement will be released to the media later today.
