Milton Keynes Council have served an eviction notice on the caravans which appeared at the Xscape Milton Keynes Car Park last night.
The notice was served this morning, with Council officials expecting the encampment to be gone by 2pm this afternoon.
We reported overnight that a large number of travellers with caravans had set up in the Car Park outside Xscape Milton Keynes, with businesses nearby advised to close early by Police.
Thames Valley Police also released a statement on the situation this morning: "Thames Valley Police was called last night after reports of antisocial behaviour by a large group in and around the Xscape car park in Milton Keynes."
"Many of these people were intoxicated."
"Thames Valley Police offered advice to local businesses as to how they can safely manage their premises, any decision to close was made by the business concerned."
"We are currently in the process of identifying land owners who can take steps to ask these individuals to leave."
"Should the individuals not leave, we will consider exercising police powers to move them on owing to the issues overnight. Before police can give a direction to leave under Section 61 of Criminal Justice and Public Order Act we need to demonstrate that the landowner has taken reasonable steps to ask persons to leave land."
