TWO traveller groups have been moved on from sites across the borough - but another smaller group have set up camp elsewhere.
Travellers were camped near The Nine Arches last week but after being served with an eviction notice they left the area over the weekend.
Residents have sent in these pictures of the mess at the site, which they believe was left by the group.

Another traveller group was also parked at Lea Green Train Station throughout last week but left the area on Saturday morning.
More than 15 caravans were at the station, opposite Sutton Academy, with few other parking spaces remaining.

A spokesman for Northern Rail, who own the site, said: “The group left on Saturday morning and our team came in on Saturday after they left to deep clean the area and repair damage to the barrier.
"Everything was back up and running on Sunday."

Another smaller group on only three to five caravans is currently parked on land close to SKK Judo Club in Newton-le-Willows.
St Helens Council has been made aware and are checking the land is council owned before taking action.
