It is not known when they moved there. When approached, none of the people on the site wished to make a comment.
A Rushcliffe Borough Council spokesperson said: "We are aware that there are travellers on the edge of the grass football pitches between the two roundabouts (at Wilford Lane to Emmanuel school and Gresham car park).
The entrance barrier gate was locked and had additional security shackles around it and the lock has been cut off and removed. “The police have been informed and Emmanuel School is also aware of the issue. We can continue to operate Gresham Park pavilion building and artificial pitch at the moment. The encampment is not authorised and legal proceedings will commence to remove them.” Notts Police said they are aware of the travellers. >
