A resident said they saw a group of travellers on the downland opposite Eastbourne Downs Golf Club in East Dean Road on Monday, May 8, and added that they were also in the area on the morning of Wednesday, May 10.
On Wednesday an Eastbourne Borough Council spokesperson added: “The travellers have now left the site on the downland and moved to land adjacent to Princes Park. We first visited the downland site on Tuesday (May 9) morning and there were six vehicles present. Section 77 notices requiring the site to be vacated within 24 hours were served by our Neighbourhood First officers.
