Travellers break through fence to pitch up in Lincoln

Around eight caravans have set up camp

A group of travellers appear to have broken down a fence to pitch up their caravans just off a Lincoln street.

The travellers illegally set up camp on Thursday, February 27 and remained on site on Friday when The Lincolnite sent a photographer.

The university confirmed that it is their land and that they have been served with a notice to move on.

Lincolnshire Police will be moving the travellers on in due course, The Lincolnite understands.
