A councillor has confirmed that travellers remain pitched up at a park in Bicester after being reported nearly 72 hours ago. 

The first reports of their presence at the park off Manston Close near the Lidl store in Launton Road surfaced last Friday evening (May 17). 

Oxfordshire County Council said: "Officers attended the site this morning to inspect, and will be issuing a notice to leave tomorrow."

County councillor for Bicester, Donna Ford, said she was made aware at 9pm on Friday before alerting both Bicester Town Council and Oxfordshire County Council.
