Travellers have once again been spotted in Swindon.
A group of at least nine caravans have parked up in the old Wroughton Park and Ride, which has been abandoned for a number of years.
It is currently unclear how they managed to get onto the site and when they arrived, but it is believed that one of the gates was damaged.
UPDATE Council issue statement on traveller's encampment
A police car was also spotted driving away from the scene earlier on Monday morning.
Swindon Borough Council and Wiltshire Police have been approached for comment.
Earlier this month, Travellers were spotted on Tovey Road in Pinehurst where a significant mess was left.
Bin bags and bedding were left dumped in the stream, along with energy and fizzy drink cans.
Tree branches were also cut and left in the field.
In July, travellers returned to the recreation ground in Highworth for the third time - to the dismay of business owners and residents.
The news upset the people of the town after problems were caused by travellers in both July 2021 and last month, with pubs and the leisure centre forced to close and the junior football club's facilities vandalised.
