A group of travellers have left an Oxfordshire Town after almost two weeks.

Around 13 caravans with five horses, dogs and geese left a recreation ground in Abingdon yesterday (June 7) after being handed a direction to leave notice.

The notice gave the group until today (June 8) to leave the area on the corner of Dunmore Road and Wootton Road near Aldi.

Thames Valley Police said they were visiting the site each day after receiving an initial report.

A police spokesperson said: "Thames Valley Police received a report of an unauthorised encampment on land near to Benson Road at around 4.30pm on Friday (June 2).

"Officers are currently monitoring and visiting the site each day."

The travellers first arrived in the town on the evening of May 26 after reports of the group moving onto The Ladygrove Meadow, in Drayton Road from Abingdon Councillor Nathan Ley.

On May 30, a landowner's notice was served after Thames Valley Police were notified of the group's arrival at The Ladygrove Meadow.

After visiting the site on June 1 Mr Ley said the travellers were served with a direction to leave the site by 4pm on June 2.

On Friday, June 2, the travellers left The Ladygrove Meadow and relocated to a nearby recreation ground at the corner of Dunmore Road and Wootton Road, according to the councillor.

The Oxford Mail has approached Thames Valley Police for a comment.
