Last travellers leave St Peter's Grasshopper Park - clear-up operation needed

Travellers have left St Peter's Grasshopper Park, with a clean-up operation now needing to be carried out to gather up the mess that has been left behind.

Some of the travellers, who had camped on the park since last Saturday night, had departed during recent days and the last of them have gone today.

Apart from bags of rubbish and items such as a gas bottle and a clothes horse being strewn around the park tyre tracks from the travellers' vehicles have left been left as indentations in the grass.

Worcester City Council workers had to corden off an area of Power Park before it wad deemed safe to be used again by local residents following a similar intrusion by a group of travellers last month.
