Even more travellers have set up camp in Racecourse Park in Chaddesden this weekend.

This is despite Derby City Council serving the group a Notice to Quit days ago.

Today the caravans number around 15 to 20 in total.

There were also at least two quad bikes being driven around the park when our reporter visited it this afternoon.

The council's notice was served to the group on Friday.  It required that the travellers move immediately, but a time frame was not specified.

If the travellers do not move on they could be fined, arrested or have their vehicles impounded.

They may have a defence if they could show they couldn't move on due to illness, mechanical breakdown or another emergency.

The Notice to Quit served on the travellers.

It was previously alleged by a local resident that the travellers removed a gate in order to get in from the Shetland Close entry.
