Several caravans have moved onto Cransley Park, a piece of land just off the A43 where it joins the A14 at Kettering which has been awaiting development for 10 years.

A spokesman for the Countywide Traveller Unit, a single body that manages unauthorised encapments and Gypsy and Traveller-related issues on behalf of local authorities, said: “We are aware of seven caravans.

“It is private land so in this instance, our role is to just give advice to the landowner.”
