Residents have complained about the mess, noise and public urination by a second homeless camp set up near the Broadmarsh Centre.
Tents were set up last weekend on a patch of grass in Cliff Road by campaigners who are asking Nottingham City Council to open up empty buildings for homeless people this winter.
But residents have become frustrated as the campers have shown disrespect to a local area usually used as a play area by young children.
Nottingham City Council now intends to take further action against the campers. An eviction notice was served on a previous camp at Station Street – and the final residents moved today.

Carrie Johnson, who has lived on Cliff Road for over 12 years, says that her daughter played on the field where the camp is now situated and is disappointed at the mess they have created.
She said: “At first I didn’t have a problem with it but now they are being disrespectful.
“I live quite far up the road but a lot of the neighbours have said it’s quite noisy and all you can smell is fire as they are always burning one.”
Nottingham City Council sent community protection officers to homes near the site and stated that there were 14 complaints from 22 responses.
A spokesperson for the council said: “We’re pleased the tents have now been removed from Station Street without the need for enforcement action and further cost to taxpayers.
“We hope that the protesters will now also heed the notice served on them today at Cliff Road and vacate the the site so it can return to public use and the residents can be left in peace.”
An eviction notice has been served by Nottingham City Council to remove the homeless protesters from the site.
