Travellers who set up an illegal encampment on the privately owned land opposite Billington Grove, Leighton on Friday should be moved on “in the next day or so”.
Central Beds Council spokesman, Councillor Nigel Young, said: “Although this land is privately owned, we took swift action to get in touch with the landowners (a consortium of developers) to ensure that they took responsibility for moving the travellers on quickly.
“The developers have taken a similarly swift approach and we anticipate the site will be clear in the next day or so.”
