A GROUP of travellers has upset residents by pitching up at a car park in Thornbury.

Several caravans were spotted parking at Rock Street car park yesterday afternoon, resulting in residents raising concerns on social media.

A member of staff at a local pub said a group of the travellers' children had caused a disturbance by entering the premises and shouting at customers and staff.

Avon and Somerset Police said officers had visited the site and that the caravans will be leaving over the weekend.

South Gloucestershire Council is also aware of the situation.
