TRAVELLERS have been told to leave a Huddersfield car park by tomorrow.
Bailiffs yesterday ordered the group to leave Cambridge Road Car Park – with taxpayers likely to be hit with an £800 bill for the eviction.
Travellers in four caravans and three wagons moved on to the site near the town centre eight days ago.
Kirklees Council, which owns the car park, is trying to get the group removed.
A spokesman said yesterday: “The council has today been granted the possession order.
“The council has issued the warrant with the county court bailiffs, who will visit the site today and instruct the Travellers to leave.
“The travellers will be given 48 hours to vacate the site. Should they fail to vacate the land voluntarily arrangements are being made for the group to be forcibly evicted.”
Kirklees also revealed yesterday that 19 groups of Travellers have been evicted from council-owned land since April 2010 at an average cost of £795.
