Travellers move off Black Country Living Museum car park

From the Express and Star

Travellers have finally left the overflow car park at the Black Country Living Museum – just as hundreds of extra visitors are expected over the Easter holidays.

They moved after museum bosses said they would apply to the High Court to get them evicted.

They had already ignored a possession order granted by Dudley County Court on Monday which required them to leave immediately.

Museum chiefs wanted the eight caravans and a motorhome to move from the car park in Dudley before the Easter break.

The Travellers spent a total of 13 days at the site after breaking through a steel gate on March 16.

Museum spokeswoman Sara Lambert said: “We hope for a busy time over the Easter holiday and are pleased that there will be plenty of parking available.”
