A clean-up operation will take place at a Leamington park today (Monday August 1) after travellers set up an encampment there last week and left the site in a mess.

Litter is strewn over various parts of the Mason Avenue Park and one of the metal bins used for the colection of recycling and general waste has been vandalised.
