TRAVELLERS have been spotted in a field in Bicester after possibly being moved on from a different area in the town.
Resident, Bowles, from Bicester, whose house backs on to the field, saw them pitch up between Bicester School and Brookfield School behind Bicester Leisure Centre.

He said: "There's about four caravans and eight other vehicles on the field and they arrived around 15 minutes ago.
"Hopefully the council will get off their backsides and do something about it."
He also said the vehicles on the field look similar to those that were reported to have been at Wilkinson's car park in the town centre on Sheep Street.
Although not directly Cherwell District Council business, it is aware of the travellers and is monitoring the situation.
It has received no reports that the leisure centre is affected and says the travellers are on county council land and that as of late morning police were visiting the site.
Thames Valley Police said it is a civil matter for Oxfordshire County Council to address.
