Council 'powerless' to move Stourport travellers
A Worcestershire council has said it is 'powerless' to move travellers who have set up camp on a car park.
About 50 caravans moved onto the Riverside car park in Stourport-on-Severn on Friday.
Wyre Forest District Council said it could not start legal action to force the travellers to move until the courts re-opened on Tuesday.
Local businesses have complained to the council that their Easter trade has been affected.
Cafe owner Brian Murdoch said: "Easter is one of our main weekends of the year and we've spent thousands advertising the town as a place to come.
"But people don't want to come and park their cars among the travellers, it's intimidating."
The BBC approached the travellers but they were unavailable for comment.
