Travellers in Sidmouth’s Manor Road Car Park have moved on after being ordered to leave.

East Devon District Council were made aware of the presence of caravans on Wednesday and gave them 24 hours’ notice yesterday.

A council spokeswoman said: “We can confirm that the travellers left Manor Road car park at 12.40pm today (Friday 16 September). We subsequently received a report that they had moved into one of the car parks in Seaton, but upon investigation we found there was no sign of them in either the Jurassic or Underfleet car parks.”
