TRAVELLERS have set up camp in Locke Park prompting complaints from angry park lovers and nearby residents.
It is believed the group managed to unfasten a lock linking two barriers next to the car park to get into the park earlier this week.
A council spokesman said: "We are aware of the traveller encampment at Locke Park and are working alongside South Yorkshire Police to resolve any issues."
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
