Even more caravans are believed to have moved on to a Coventry park.

As reported by the Telegraph yesterday, a large number of travellers had set up an illegal camp at Morris Common, off Heath Crescent, Stoke Heath, on Sunday evening.

And now their numbers are thought to have risen above 50.

Coventry City Council said that legal proceedings have begun to evict them from the site and they hope to gain an order from magistrates tomorrow which will give the travellers 24 hours to leave.

Another group of travellers who set up a camp in Queen Elizabeth Road, Nuneaton, have been ordered to leave.
