A group of Travellers have been moved on from a park just days after a previous encroachment was reported.
About five caravans had reportedly encamped on Harold Wood Park yesterday (September 4).
The Travellers were instructed to leave by parks police and council enforcement officers after their arrival.
A spokesperson for Havering Council said that they complied with the orders issued by officers under the council-obtained injunction. The Travellers, she said, have left the site today.

The said injunction, given to the council in 2019, stops people from setting up camp on land without permission from the land owner or the council.
Failure to comply could result in arrest.
This was a second such instance of encroachment by Travellers in a Havering park in recent times.
On August 25, about 25 caravans were spotted in Wincanton Road and were similarly vacated by council enforcement officers a few days later on August 29.
