Traffic barriers are set to be installed at a car park in Buckinghamshire in a bid to stop travellers staying on the site.
According to Bucks Free Press, the car park, in Marlow, was being used by a group of travellers until they were told to move on.
Now a height restriction traffic barrier will be erected to prevent it happening again.
A spokesperson for Wycombe District Council, Catherine Spalton, told the newspaper the travellers were served with a notice and outlined the measures taken subsequently.
"We understand that they have left the site, in accordance with this notice.
"We will be installing a height barrier at this car park to prevent future illegal encampments at this location."
The car park, with space for 28 cars, is for permit holders only and is open from Mondays to Fridays.
Last month it emerged that high security fencing would be erected as part of a £1.63 million upgrade at a travellers' site in Lincolnshire.
