Cardiff council is investigating after reports of travellers setting up a base in Rhiwbina.

Caravans arrived at Caedelyn Road in Rhiwbina , Cardiff, on Thursday afternoon.

Council officials were notified and began investigating.

A number of caravans have been parked on the field.

Cabinet member Susan Elsmore, said: “The council has an 'Unauthorised Encampment Protocol' in place which includes various agencies who assist when unauthorised encampments occur in Cardiff.

"This process has been initiated with regards to the reported encampment located at Caedelyn Park."

“Officers have attended the site and will report their findings back to the co-ordinator who will then initiate the correct proceedings to resolve this issue.”

Rhiwbina Councillor Jayne Cowan said there were around a dozen caravans and vehicles at the site."It's truly disappointing to see the blatant disregard of a beautiful park with numerous vehicles driving at fast speeds and damaging the grassed area."She thanked the police and council for their speedy response and urged residents to contact councillors or police with any concerns.
