Caravans have set up camp at Great Western Park in Didcot, according to residents who live there.

A spokesperson for housing developer Taylor Wimpey said: “We are aware that a group of travellers have unlawfully accessed land at Great Western Park in Didcot.
"As the land owner, we are in the process of taking action to ensure the travellers are moved from the site as soon as possible."
Travellers set up an illegal encampment of dozens of caravans at GWP in April.

Residents complained they had 'taken over' and were washing in a pond, pegging out their laundry and had brought along chickens and horses.
They stayed on that occasion for two weeks.
In January, it was revealed that 60 illegal encampments set up in Oxfordshire across 2018 had cost the taxpayer more than £100,000 in clean-up and legal bills.
