A small group of Travellers who illegally set up camp near to a popular park have now left the area.
After a small number of caravans, motorhomes and vehicles arrived in Oulton Broad, Lowestoft, earlier this week, the group has now moved on from the site.
They set up an encampment close to Nicholas Everitt Park on the A1117 in Oulton Broad, after arriving at the car park off Bridge Road, near to the Oulton Broad Mini Zoo - the former Pets Corner Farm Park - on Tuesday, April 20.

A spokesman for East Suffolk Council confirmed the incident was reported over the weekend.
They said: We have been made aware of a fly-tipping incident in Mettingham and officers from East Suffolk Norse will be visiting the site to carry out an investigation and remove the waste. Fly-tipping is unpleasant, unnecessary, unsightly and unacceptable and there is no excuse for it, not even during a pandemic. As with all fly-tipping incidents, we will be undertaking a full investigation to try and find those responsible. Anyone who has seen anything or has any information that might help us identify those responsible can report it by using our online form.

Work to remove oil from a Lowestoft beach after a tanker spill more than 40 years ago will take place, a council has confirmed.
But East Suffolk Council also told members of the public that their well intended efforts to clean up North Denes beach may be doing more harm than good.
The giant oil tanker Eleni V was sailing in thick fog when she was struck by the French bulk carrier Roseline on May 6, 1978 - spilling more than 5,000 tonnes of heavy fuel oil after the collision around four miles from the Lowestoft coast.
