A group of travellers has pitched up in Watford – shortly after being moved on from a nearby site in Bushey.
The convoy of caravans and other vehicles - which had been camped just minutes away on land near Park Avenue in Bushey for around a week - arrived at Radlett Road Playing Fields last night (Thursday).
The route probably used by travellers to arrive at their new lodgings
They initially refused to leave the Bushey site but were served a removal order by Hertsmere Borough Council officials.

- Travellers ‘trash cricket pitch’ at popular common
- 'Action needed' after travellers blight green spaces all over the county
Before arriving in Bushey, the group was accused of “trashing” the cricket pitch at Chipperfield Common, where they had been staying for a number of days.
Residents have recently complained about mountains of rubbish left behind after travellers departed a number of sites across Hertfordshire, including locations in North and West Watford.
Watford Borough Council has been contacted for comment.
