Caravans pitch up in Castle Bromwich

RESIDENTS reported that traveller caravans moved onto land in Castle Bromwich earlier today (Wednesday).
A number of trailers arrived at the field off Castlehills Drive early this afternoon. There are no bollards installed at the site and the vehicles were able to drive up onto the grass.
Both Solihull Council and West Midlands Police have been notified of the group's arrival.
The encampment is the latest of several set up in the north of the borough in recent weeks; enforcement action was taken to remove caravans which pitched up at both the Parkfields estate and Babbs Mill Park during the summer.
