Camper vans have pitched up near a busy shopping destination.
Around 10 caravans have parked up in a privately owned car park outside of Lloyds of London close to Chatham’s Dockside Outlet Centre.
It is understood these vehicles are owned by a group of nomadic Travellers who are believed to have been on-site since at least Sunday, April 7.
One resident told KentOnline there was “rubbish everywhere” and “kids were trashing big wheelie bins”.
The car park is privately owned and a spokesman for the Dockside Outlet Centre confirmed it has no control or legal responsibility over it.
Medway Council have been approached for comment while Lloyds of London declined to make a statement.
