As reported yesterday, Cheshire East Council were given a repossession order at Macclesfield Court on Thursday morning by District Judge Wallace, to enable them to take back possession of Carnival Field.
The Council then gave notice to the Travellers, who have been camped on Carnival Field for the past ten days, to leave by 5pm otherwise officers would turn up with the bailiffs to enforce the order.
However, they refused to leave and yesterday evening 24 caravans remained on the site.
A spokesperson for Cheshire East Council said: "The Council served a repossession order on the Gypsies/Travellers that are on Carnival Fields, off Altrincham Road, Wilmslow yesterday (Thursday). They were required to leave by 5pm that day or face enforcement by bailiffs to clear the site.
"However, the Travellers refused to leave. We are now going back to court to apply for court bailiffs to attend and help Council staff remove them as soon as possible.
"Our streetscape officers have also been out and replaced locks and further secured Council sites where we can in the area. We are also looking at other actions to help secure our sites from unlawful encampments in the future."
Prior to being camped off Altrincham Road this group of Travellers spent two weeks on fields adjacent to the A34 bypass where they left mounds of rubble and rubbish - and the High School facing a £10,000 bill to clean up after them.
