A group of travellers who had been camping in Ilkley have moved on.

The group had set up camp on land next to the Ilkley Lido, but decided to move on Sunday – after a concert at the venue on Saturday evening – to land at the Ilkley Lawn Tennis & Squash Club on Sunday evening.

Club general manager Nicole Demot said: “The police arrived and were very helpful but can’t do a thing.”

The travellers announced they would be leaving the site on Tuesday evening, and yesterday morning had completely gone, with very little rubbish or sign of their presence remaining.

The area left by the travellers will be used by All Saints Primary School for a sports day.
