Over a dozen vehicles, including caravans, large panel vans, SUVs, cars and horse boxes have moved onto the field between Costa and the Esso garage on Ermont Way just off the M40 junction. A number of ponies are grazing at the site.

Thames Valley Police said in a statement: "We were called at around 3.30pm yesterday, August 21, to reports of an unauthorised encampment on land off Ermont Way, Banbury.

"We are liaising with the landowner over the encampment."
