Some 15 caravans pitched up on The Commons Car Park behind the Co-Op on Tuesday evening. It came two years after travellers were last on the site.

Leicestershire County Council’s Multi-Agency Travellers Unit and police served a Section 61 notice requiring the travellers to vacate on Thursday (November 3).

A Harborough District Council spokeswoman said: “The travellers left the car park on Wednesday evening. A small number of domestic waste sacks have been removed from the site.”
