TRAVELLERS have pitched up on grassland in Braintree and have been camped there for the last to days.
The travellers arrived yesterday evening and parked around three caravans and three lorries on a patch of land near Mill Park Drive.
Braintree District Council street wardens and the Essex Police officers visited the site and asked the travellers to leave as soon as possible.
A spokesman for the force said: "We were notified that the travellers arrived on the land yesterday, we supported the council who served the notice of eviction this afternoon.
"They have been given until Sunday morning to vacate the area and we will be working with the council in regards to that."
The travellers now have 48 hours to leave the Mill Park Drive area.
