TRAVELLERS moved on to land at a beauty spot over the weekend.

A number of caravans and vehicles are in the car park at the viewing point on Christchurch Road in Newport.

A spokeswoman for Newport City Council said that it is aware of the travellers.

She said: “Travellers have moved to the viewing point in Christchurch despite a height restriction barrier that was in place.

“The legal process to seek the removal of this illegal encampment will begin as soon as possible.

“In the meantime, the council will continue to monitor the situation.”
