Caravans have returned to a village green a month after a previous encampment. A row of caravans is currently at Goring Gap, Marine Drive, with chairs, tables and umbrellas situated on the green. Uprooted wooden posts have also been spotted on the grass.

In May, nine vehicles, including vans and caravans, were situated on the green for over three weeks, before they left on June 13. Pet hutches, milk churns and quad bikes were also present at the site, with black bin bags discarded in nearby bushes. Wooden posts appear to have been uprooted (Image: Sussex News and Pictures) The situation was monitored by West Sussex County Council and Sussex Police.
