Councillor Sally Povolotsky, a liberal democrat party member who represents Hendreds and Harwell on the country council, said: “County council, police and Taylor Wimpey all have been informed.

“I past by the site yesterday. However it’s important to note that Great Western Park is not adopted yet by the council.

“So it is up to Taylor Wimpey to issue eviction orders. Our traveller team has also been informed.”
