Travellers have left a popular park after police were spotted at the scene.
The group departed from Hatch Grange on Saturday night following a week at the green space.
Police officers were called to the park earlier that same day, with the travellers leaving a few hours after the arrival of officers.
Hampshire Constabulary confirmed they were called to the park following reports of a two-vehicle crash.
No injuries were reported.
The unauthorised encampment was set up on August 16, much to the disdain of residents.
A court order was issued, and a notice was put up at the entrance of Hatch Grange at the end of last week.
Following the group’s departure, West End Parish Council said: “Just to make everyone aware, the travellers have now left Hatch Grange, and the gates are locked and secured.
“The Parish Clerk will be beginning the clear up tomorrow (Sunday) with a litter pick.
“If anyone wishes to stop by and lend a hand, he will be at Hatch Grange for 10am.”
