A PARISH council has told local residents not to give a new group of travellers any work. 

Travellers are believed to have arrived on land on a roundabout in Grove on Sunday evening.

Now the local Parish Council has told residents not to offer the travellers work 'no matter how cheap and cheerful', in an effort to get the group to 'move on'. 

Referencing the county council staff member Peter Gammond in a Facebook post, the council wrote: "Update from the County Council's Traveller Liaison Officer; the travellers will not move on until they are forced to or the work they getting from residents in the area dries up. The land owner has been contacted but has done nothing yet to get them to move on.

"Can I reiterate that residents should not give these people work, no matter how cheap and cheerful it is. I say again if they haven't got the work they will eventually move on..."

Mr Gammond was given the opportunity to comment further.
