A group of travellers have pitched up on a park and ride, just outside Winchester.

Three caravans have parked at South Winchester Park and Ride, near Compton, having arrived early this week.

This comes one year after five caravans pitched up in the same place.

In April, a large group of travellers took over the Hampshire County Council staff car park next to the Household Recycling Centre in Bar End.

After they vacated the site, litter was left behind with damage caused to barriers and cabins.

A Winchester City Council spokesman said: “We’re aware of a group of travellers at South Winchester Park and Ride and are following our standard process for dealing with unauthorised encampments.”
