Court action is being taken against a group of Travellers who are staying in one of Ipswich's busiest parks.
Around 11 caravans have been spotted in Chantry Park in the town.
It is believed that the caravans have been in the park since Monday (August 1).
The Travellers are spread out across the park with many of them pitching up near the play area.
A spokesman for Ipswich Borough Council said: "Ipswich Borough Council has served an eviction notice that will give the Travellers until 2pm today to leave."
It comes after a number of travellers pitched up at the park in May.
