A group of travellers have moved on to land outside a college.

The two caravans and van arrived at Epping Forest College in Borders Lane, Loughton, yesterday morning and are currently blocking the entrance to two of the buildings on the site. 

Two large piles of rubbish and several bags have since been seen at the location and a fire set by one traveller is currently burning waste in a barrel.

Gas cylinders are also present on the site.

A group of travellers were reported to have moved onto a site in Trapps Hill, Loughton, earlier in the week however they have since moved.

An Essex Police spokesman said officers were monitoring the situation.

He said: "Police have been advised that travellers have moved onto land at Epping Forest College.

"Reports were received from the college at just after 10am yesterday."
