Travellers in High Town have been served with an eviction notice that means they have 24 hours to leave.
The group of six or seven caravans arrived in High Town this week and were reported to Luton Borough Council yesterday morning.
A council spokesman said: “We immediately started the legal process for eviction. We’ve also spoken to Bedfordshire Police who have served an as61 notice this morning. It gives the travellers until 11am tomorrow to depart.”
Travellers have camped in the same area in High Town a number of times before.
