ADUR and Worthing councils have today (Wednesday, June 27) released an update on the presence of Travellers in the borough and district.


A council spokeswoman said: “Adur and Worthing councils and Sussex Police are continuing to work in partnership to deal with the Traveller incursions at Beach Green, Lancing, Findon Gallops, and Hill Barn, Worthing.

“In the case of Beach Green a hearing for possession of the land is listed at Worthing County Court for 10am on Thursday June 28.
