Back in June 2019, at least eight caravans were seen scattered around parts of the common.
Some members of the public at the time said they felt "intimidated" by the travellers and were too scared to walk between the vehicles.
Local communities across the UK have expressed their concern to GB News over travellers pitching up in local green spaces.
Residents in a beautiful British beach hotspot have told GB News that travellers illegally encamping at a local park have wreaked havoc across the area | GB NEWSResidents of Bournemouth expressed their fears in relation to safety, sanitation and access to public spaces to the People's Channel after travellers arrived.
One woman, who has lived on a road that backs onto the encampment for 30 years, said the appearance of travellers "seems to be an annual event".
She added: "It's a completely anti-social scenario. We just have to wait until they leave and then it's our job to clean up after them."
Another resident, whose garden backs onto the park, told the People's Channel: "I'm scared to go, I don't let my daughter walk through the park at night, and she's 19."
"It is not just the encampment that causes problems. Youths often use the site as a place to drink and listen to loud music, and there is not a lot we can do about it. I don't know the answers, other than just to accept it and stay away."
