TRAVELLERS have set up camp in Netherton this afternoon (Tuesday).

Caravans arrived at the Bumble Hole Nature Reserve at around 2.15pm.

Dudley Council officers and police are currently at the beauty spot attempting to persuade the travellers to leave the site.

Councillor Gaye Partridge, cabinet member for housing, said: “If this is unsuccessful we can apply for a court order to move them on.”
