Travellers ordered to leave Walsall car park - West Midlands

From the Express and Star

Travellers who illegally set up camp on a council car park have been ordered to leave by a court.

They settled on Dolphin House in Goscote, last week for the second time this year, but magistrates granted an order to evict them.

It is the latest in a long line of problems of unlawful encampments in Walsall which has seen caravans take over parks and playing fields throughout this year.

Walsall Council revealed last month there had been at least 36 known camps in the borough between January and August.

Walsall Magistrates Court yesterday heard there were initially two caravans in Dolphin Close and although one moved the other has remained on site.

Enforcement officers were notified by a member of the public on September 16
