Peel Holdings bid to remove Travellers from Wirral docklands site - Merseyside

From the Wirral News

A MAJOR Merseyside landowner says it is working with police to remove Travellers from one of its dockside sites.


Around a dozen caravans plus cars arrived on the South Bidston site, next to the Bidston Moss recycling centre, earlier this week.

The site is owned by Peel Holdings, the company which is seeking to redevelop the Birkenhead and Wallasey dockland area.

A Wirral council spokesman said they were aware a number of caravans were on the land, just off Wallasey Bridge Road and the authority was “ready to help and work alongside the landowner if needed”.

But Ian Pollitt, development investment surveyor at Peel said, “The Travellers are on Peel’s land without our permission.

“We are liaising with the Port Police and Merseyside Police to resolve the matter.”
