A GROUP of travellers have been spotted in Towneley Park.
An eyewitness said the travellers have stopped on around half of the Burnley Council-run car park near Towneley Holmes Road in Burnley.
They were first spotted at around 6pm on Friday and are still in the park.
A Burnley Council spokesman said: “We are going to court on Wednesday to gain a possession order.
“We will then instruct bailiffs to execute the warrant and move the travellers off the site.
“We’ve provided them with bin bags for their rubbish.
“We will continue to monitor the situation.”
