Travellers who set up camp on Southam College's playing fields last Saturday are being evicted today (Wednesday August 2).
Warwickshire Police are issuing a Section 61 Order to remove the travellers from the site. There will be a high police presence and sirens are likely to sound during the process.
The police received a call about the encampment at 4pm on Saturday July 29. The land is owned privately by the Stowe Valley multi-academy trust, who will deal with the clean-up operation.
