Travellers have been spotted in Bostall Heath after a dog walker stumbled across the site.

A yellow Transit van was seen parked alongside a caravan photographed on October 4, at the Clam Field recreation ground.

Daniel Taylor, 48, from Lodge Hill, Welling said: "They made so much mess last time they were here.

"A few local people are scared to walk their dogs up the heath whilst they are around as they have dogs chained up outside normally."
