An eviction order has been made against travellers parked on land by Worthing beach.

Worthing Magistrates' Court gave permission to Worthing Council to remove the group of travellers from the land next to Worthing Sailing Club yesterday.

Roy Nowosielski, enforcement officer at the council, said: "These particular travellers I have dealt with for the last 20 years."

The travellers are staying in two mobile homes and one caravan and include children and a pregnant woman.
