Travellers have pitched up on the car park of Chase Leisure Centre

A group of three caravans pitched up on the centre's car park on Monday evening, despite barriers being in place.

It has not yet been confirmed how the group got on to the Stafford Road site.

Councillor Maureen Freeman said: "This is the second or third time they have pitched up at this location, this time apparently using a different entrance."

A travellers camp was set up on the car park last year, with piles of rubbish bags, a broken sign and damaged trees left behind.
