TRAVELLERS have encamped in a field near a Newton Abbot garden centre.

The group of more than a dozen caravans, vans and other vehicles have set up near Plants Galore.

It comes after a group of travellers encamped at Osbourne Park in the town, and before that Bakers Park.

Teignbridge District Council’s estate department has confirmed the field is not public land and therefore not the authority’s responsibility to serve an eviction notice.
