The Collier Row and Mawneys Residents Association has learnt that a group of Travellers have invaded Befords Country Park in Havering Atte Bower.
They arrived at 2pm on Friday and despite the efforts of the police and parks department 6 caravans, 2 vans and a 4x4 managed to get onto the grass.
Planning enforcement issued Section 77 papers giving the travellers until Monday afternoon to leave the site. When Residence association action members visited the park on Tuesday evening they were still there. The council will now seek a court order to remove them from the site.
The Parks department has secured the area and arranged for 24hour security to stop any others entering the park.
This is the second time that travellers have been able to gain access to the park.
