TRAVELLERS have set up an illegal encampment at a park in Reading.

A number of caravans have parked up in Palmer Park, Reading and have been there for two weeks.

Reading Borough Council said they are aware of the new encampment and have served the camp with legal notices to leave the site.

"Our Police partners are aware and all reports of anti social behaviour should be directed to the Police on 101.
