Travellers who pitched their caravans on a recreation ground will find out if they will be evicted when they attend a court hearing tomorrow.
The five caravans arrived on the Fairfield in Kingston after driving in through a gap in fencing on Monday, June 18 at about 2.45pm.
Kingston County Court will consider whether or not the travellers will have to leave the site or be permitted to stay at a hearing on Tuesday, June 26.
The travellers' stay was extended for health checks on a pregnant woman and children believed to have measles.
A van owned by Quadron, Kingston Council’s parks contractor, blocked the entrance into the Fairfield to stop more caravans arriving.
This has now been replaced by a car and two security guards, who are manning the gate.
