LEGAL action is being taken against a group of travellers who have pitched up in a busy Hampshire car park.
The group has moved into the South Winchester Park and Ride for the second time just over two months.
Earlier this summer, dozens of travellers occupied the car park, off the Hockley Link road.
We are aware of the Travellers who have taken up residence in the South Park & Ride. Welfare checks and legal process are underway.
