AN UNAUTHORISED encampment which has been set up in a Bournemouth car park is being monitored by the council.

The encampment, which is in Alum Chine car park, is being visited and monitored daily by BCP Council.

The police are also aware of the encampment and assessments have been carried out.

This comes after an unauthorised encampment of around a dozen caravans and vehicles was set up in King's Park lorry car park earlier this month.

The caravans were located near to AFC Bournemouth's Vitality Stadium.
