Travellers have pitched up on a large area of land in south-west Ipswich.

A number of caravans arrived at Ellenbrook Meadow, near Pinewood, over Monday night.

The travellers' arrival comes after caravans have pitched up in and around the Ipswich area in recent weeks.

Several travellers arrived at Whitton Recreation Ground in mid-July, while there were about 20 caravans in Christchurch Park for five days in June.
