A large group of travellers have moved on from a west Suffolk town's playing field after pitching up last week.
At some point last week, nine caravans, three motorhomes and nine cars were seen at Howard Park in the Howard estate in Bury St Edmunds.
On Friday West Suffolk Council served the travellers with a Section 77 notice order, which stated they had until 11am on Saturday to leave the site.
A spokesman for the council has since confirmed that they left.
"Following the legal notice served on Friday, the Travellers left at the weekend," the spokesman said.
"Our staff have been out this morning removing rubbish and litter to restore the site to community use."
