People are not happy after travellers set up camp at a children's play area in Southport.
A convoy of caravans has parked up near to the playground at Town Lane - it's the second time in less than two weeks an illegal camp has appeared in the town.

Southport resident Frankie Gee said: "If I park illegally, I get a fine. But they literally sprawl across a kiddies' play area and that's allowed."
But a spokesman for Sefton Council said: "We have spoken to the Travellers on Town Lane, and have started the required legal process to ensure they can be moved on as quickly as possible."
Earlier this month, two vans and three caravans were parked illegally on the empty Kew Park and Ride site .
One man who lives nearby said: “It's a disgrace. The mess that was left here last time [travellers set up camp]...
"Why doesn't someone make them leave straight away? Or better yet, clamp the bloody caravans and actually punish them."

Figures obtained from a Freedom Of Information request last year showed travellers set up camp more than once a month in Sefton.
In June 2018, residents were outraged when travellers pitched up illegally at three different areas in the borough within the space of a few weeks.
