TRAVELLERS camped in an office car park have moved on.
Earlier this week, 13 caravans moved to the Belmont Business Park in Durham, after being moved out of Gateshead, because no spaces were available in Durham County Council's six official sites for travellers.
They took up parking spaces at the new offices of economic and social consultants Birks Sinclair.
But the travellers, about 50, moved on to an undisclosed destination after, it is believed, they were threatened with legal action.
A spokeswoman for Durham County Council said: "They have moved on but we do not know where they have gone to."
