POLICE are having to go through proceedings with a parish council to remove travellers from a field.
The travellers have spent the past six days on the recreation ground behind Langham Community Centre in School Road.
Police are still trying to speak to the travellers and proceedings have started to make the move from the site possible.
Members of the public, including a pensioner, had tried to stop them entering but failed.
An Essex Police spokesman said they are still working closely with the land owner, which is the parish council.
It is understood proceedings have started.
About nine caravans and another nine cars managed to get through the locked gates to the recreation ground.
The police's Gypsy, Traveller, Rural Engagement Team has been in talks with all those involved.
