The four caravans are said to have arrived on Whitehills Open Space on Saturday, April 22 and have until Thursday to leave.

A Northamptonshire County Council spokesman said on behalf of the Countywide Traveller Unit: “The site has been visited by the CTU and issued with a notice, giving the travellers 24 hours to move on.

“If the encampment has not gone by tomorrow, we will be in court on Friday to seek a court eviction order.”

Northamptonshire Police said they had received a “couple of calls” relating to some children causing a nuisance in the area surrounding the travellers.

When attending the site, however, police reported there was no one there.
