A GROUP of travellers who set up camp on Springfield Green have left the site.
Having been asked by Chelmsford Council to move off the land after getting on there overnight on September 18, the travellers moved away at about 12.30pm on Sunday.
Council officials had threatened to take legal action and getting an injuction to force the people off the green if they had not left by Monday afternoon.
Police officers carried out regular patrols around the caravans while they were positioned on the land.
