Travellers are being forced to move on from a piece of council land.

They were reported to be in settled last week on land in Maple Cross next to the A412.

The three caravans parked between Rickmansworth and Denham will be moved on from the area tomorrow.

The inhabitants had been offered space at Mimms Transit Site by Hertfordshire County Council, which was refused.

The encampment was reported to Hertfordshire Constabulary and officers have been working to move the group on and have been carrying out patrols to monitor the situation.

It is thought that the Travellers had previously been camped out in an area of Chorleywood Common.
