From This Is Hull and East Riding
THE population of Travellers pitched up next to a west Hull school have moved on.
Around 50 caravans set up camp next to Kelvin Hall Secondary School in Bricknell Avenue.
The Travellers had been on the site for two weeks.
A hearing was due to take place at Hull Magistrates' Court tomorrow to grant the city council an Immediate Possession Order (IPO) to remove the Travellers from its land but the group moved off overnight.
Around 30 caravans have now set up on the site of the former Lambwath Primary School, Battersea Close, off Saltshouse Road, east Hull.
It is not clear at this stage if they are the same group.
Local authorities cannot evict Travellers immediately but first assess their welfare and comply with the Human Rights Act, while proving they won the land.
Police will only get involved if there is serious criminal activity.
