Dozens of caravans spotted in Woodland Park, Angmering

Police said officers are aware of the vehicles in Woodland Park, off Station Road, Angmering.

West Sussex County Council previously said that 24 caravans and motorhomes were parked in Goring Greensward, which have since moved on.

Gas canisters, deckchairs and other items were seen at the village green in Marine Drive, Goring, on Wednesday, July 6.

All were served with a notice requiring them to vacate the land.

A West Sussex County Council spokeswoman said should they fail to do so, court proceedings will commence.

On Tuesday, July 12, the spokeswoman confirmed that the travellers had been “moved on”.

However, Adur and Worthing Police said officers have been made aware of a number of vehicles arriving at Woodland Park, Angmering, on Tuesday.

“We are closely monitoring the situation in consultation with the local authorities to help ensure local community safety and to establish what next steps should be taken,” a police spokesman said.

Earlier this year, Brighton and Hove City Council asked police to use emergency powers to remove a group of travellers from Preston Park, Brighton.

Photos showed a number of people inside the caravans, who eventually left the park, doing their laundry and other activities.

Last year, a group also set up camp in Stanmer Park.

As many as six caravans and other assorted vehicles were pictured parked near the University of Sussex in March 2021.

One vehicle could be seen towing woodcutting machinery.

Meanwhile, in July last year, there were spaces for 44 caravans at local authority and privately owned sites in Brighton and Hove, according to the Government's latest traveller caravan count.

Data from the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities showed there were 38 traveller caravans in the area in July 2021 – up from 28 in July 2019.

Of those counted this year, nine were on unauthorised pitches.
