A BUSY Huddersfield car park has been occupied by travellers.

Dozens of spaces in the Springwood car park are out of action because travellers have moved on to the site with caravans and wagons.

It is thought they had earlier occupied a car park at the site of the former Oxfam premises in Beck Road, Huddersfield.

The car park is owned by Kirklees Council and a spokesman said: "We are aware of the travellers and will be applying for a repossession order through the courts".
