Swindon Borough Council teams have been clearing up waste from a field after travellers were ordered to leave.

A number of caravans arrived at Westcott Recreation Ground last week.

The local authority says it'll be working to repair any damage caused - and improving the security of the site for the future.

In a statement, a spokesperson told us: “Following the departure of the group, our team has been on site clearing up any waste that was left behind.

“We’ll also be working to repair any damage caused and improving the security of the site for the future.”
