A resident said they had seen the caravans underneath the Underline Bridge on the old A12 (Martlesham Road).

It is claimed they were located close to the right turn towards Woodbridge, just past the railway bridge.

There are currently no authorised traveller sites in the Suffolk Coastal district, according to Suffolk County Council.
