Travellers have pitched up at a Shoebury beauty spot.

Up to 15 caravans are said to have turned up at Gunners Park after moving on from Southend seafront.

The travellers broke through wooden railings to get on to the park adjacent to the Garrison.

They vacated land, behind the Foresters Arms, in Marine Parade owned by a property developer.

Southend Council will now take action against the travellers after they moved on to public land.
