From the Enfield Advertiser
TRAVELLERS briefly set up camp in the car park of a football stadium on Tuesday, before moving on after negotiations with the council.
According to Enfield Town Football Club match secretary Keith Wortley, a number of caravans appeared in the car park alongside Enfield Playing Fields, on Tuesday morning.
The Travellers and police were initially engaged in a stand-off, however Enfield Council said there were “peaceful negotiations” throughout the day.
A council spokeswoman said: “At no point were there any altercations whatsoever, it was amicable throughout between the Travellers, council and the police.”
The council said it informed the Travellers it would be enforcing the parks' by-laws, however by 6pm the Travellers had left the site of their own accord.
Enfield Town’s Isthmian League Cup match with Harlow Town on Tuesday night went ahead as planned.
There is no official provision for Travellers anywhere in the borough.
