A GROUP of travellers has set up camp on Leverhulme Park in Breightmet.
The seven caravans arrived at the park over the weekend.
Residents and local councillors are unhappy and have reported the issue to the police and local authority.
Cllr Debbie Newall said action would be taken to have them removed.
Cllr Newall, who said fencing had already been put up at the site to stop the travellers gaining access, added:"It is frustrating when you spend time and effort to stop it happening but they find another way on. We will discuss the way forward with our officers."
The travellers are understood to have entered the site via a gate near the Maryland Avenue entrance.
