“Criminal damage has therefore been reported to the police. However, to enable the town council to evict the trespassers as soon as possible residents are asked to report any criminal or anti-social activity from the site direct to the police.

“Photographs and videos are particularly useful. Once sufficient criminal activity has been recorded it is possible to evict them expeditiously.”

Residents can report any incidents to Sussex Police by phoning 101.

Alternatively they can report online at www.sussex.police.uk/ro/report.
