Travellers in Sidmouth’s Manor Road Car Park have been issued notice and now have 24 hours to leave.
East Devon District Council was made aware of the presence of caravans parked on their site yesterday (Wednesday).
A spokeswoman said: “Our housing needs service have undertaken welfare checks and have confirmed that their services are not required.
“Legal notices have now been served to the occupants, giving them 24 hours’ notice to leave.
“If they do not comply with this, we will take such further action as is necessary to remove the vehicles from the site.”
