A number of travellers have pitched up at a busy park and ride near Ipswich. 

A group of caravans are currently based Martlesham Park and Ride in east Suffolk.

It is believed that there around 10 vans pitched up at the site.

Travellers pitched up at the car park last year and stayed for about a day. 

An East Suffolk Council spokesman said: “We are aware of an unauthorised encampment at Martlesham Park and Ride and are working with the site owner and the Norfolk and Suffolk Gypsy, Roma and Traveller liaison team to address the situation.

“Actions will be taken in accordance with the Norfolk and Suffolk Joint Protocol for unauthorised encampments.”

It is not clear when the travellers arrived at the car park.
