A group of travellers that set up camp on a Soham car park have now left the area.

Around 10 caravans arrived on Clay Street car park last weekend.

East Cambridgeshire District Council (ECDC) said that they are now working to clear the site.

They tweeted: "We are aware that the unauthorised encampment at Clay Street in Soham has now left the area.

"We are working with East Cambs Street Scene to clear any waste left onsite.

"We thank residents for their patience during this time."

Police and officers from East Cambridgeshire District Council (ECDC) attended the site yesterday morning (September 24).

The Ross Peers Sports Centre also decided to close their car park following the arrival of the travellers.
