A group of Travellers who have set up camp on Council land adjacent to the A34 Wilmslow bypass have been issued with a notice to leave.

The Travellers have spent a couple of weeks camped in a field close to Wilmslow High School, which belongs to Cheshire East Council.

AA spokesperson for Cheshire East Council said: "The Council is aware of the Gypsies/Travellers that are based on Council land off the A34 Wilmslow bypass.

"Today we have issued them with a notice to leave by 9am on Monday (July 1). If they do not leave by then, we will take court action to secure repossession of the site."

A group of Travellers set up camp at two different locations close to the A34 bypass last month.

Initially the Travellers spent a week camped in the grounds of Wilmslow High School, adjacent to the A34 bypass. Once they were evicted from the High School they moved down the road to a field off the Alderley Edge bypass, pictured above, where they spent 5 or 6 days.
