A GROUP of several travellers have parked up their caravans on Taunton's Tangier Car Park. 

One witness said he saw more than 10 caravans at the car park on Friday evening (July 18).

The travellers have parked up close to Enfield Car Park, a council-owned car park which Somerset West and Taunton have turned into a temporary traveller stopping site.

The facility was launched on July 6 and will likely remain open until October.

The County Gazette has contacted Somerset West and Taunton for comment.
