TRAVELLERS have set up camp at a Park and Ride site in Taunton.

It is believed a group of travellers have stopped at Gateway Park and Ride today (Friday, April 5).

Somerset County Council has started the legal process to remove them, but the site remains open for people to collect their cars.

A spokesperson for SCC said: “This is a developing situation and we have started the legal process to have the travellers removed.

"The site remains open for customers to collect their vehicles tonight and we will assess the situation over the weekend and provide further updates if needed before the service resumes on Monday.”

In April 2018, a group of travellers camped at Gateway Park and Ride, and left behind £7,500 worth of damage.
