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.

It is not clear whether the present encampment is on private or public land; the latter would mean it is Teignbridge District Council’s responsibility.
