TRAVELLER UPDATE - SECTION 77 NOTICE ISSUED

Officers from Cheshire West & Chester Council* have attended the park (playing fields) today and issued a Section 77 Notice, requiring the travellers to leave the site by 3pm on Wednesday. The notice prohibits the same travellers from returning to the site within a three-month period. Should the group fail to leave by 3pm tomorrow, a court order may be necessary in order to evict them.

Earlier today I held meetings with officers from Cheshire East Council and ANSA (Parks Maintenance) to discuss the introduction of additional security measures designed to deter future illegal encampments. Once the travellers have left the site, I will be putting out a general call for help in cleaning up the area.

* enforcement of traveller sites was sub-contracted to CWaC Council earlier this year
