POLICE have ordered travellers to leave a site in Orford after additional caravans arrived onto the land.
On Friday, the council visited the group, on Alder Lane, close to Orford Jubilee Neighbourhood Hub, to carry out ‘welfare checks’ after eight caravans and associated vehicles parked up.
The authority has confirmed further caravans have arrived onto the site since Friday and, as a result, police have made the decision to evict the group under section 61 powers.
On Tuesday, the council confirmed the group has left.
