Travellers have left a site in Lichfield after rising tensions with local residents.

The group had set up camps on land at Netherstowe over the weekend.

But a heavy police presence was brought in this evening (5th July) as the travellers left the site.

One eyewitness told *Lichfield Live*:

> “It was pretty tense as they were leaving with a lot of local people turning out to make sure they were going.”
