Following the recent traveller encampment, the Parish Council resolved at its meeting on Monday 10th June to have an emergency operating procedure to deal with any future occupation of our open green spaces. Chairman of the Parish Council, Mike Dudley-Jones, is leading on this project and is in discussion with the Gypsy & Traveller Team at Cheshire West & Chester Council.
In the meantime, I have asked our Parish Lengthsman to look at improving security at the entrance to the park on Ryleys Lane, by installing some new boundary posts, which he has done today. I have also been in discussion with the CEC Control Room Manager with a view to having the CCTV system extended to the park for additional security and peace of mind.
Whilst evidence from other parts of the borough suggests that it is impossible to completely prevent the arrival of traveller encampments, we can try to make our open spaces as secure as possible. The park is there for everyone to enjoy and our aim is to make residents feel as safe as possible whilst they are using it.
