A group of Travellers set up camp on land adjacent to Wilmslow High School and the A34 bypass last night.
This site was occupied by Travellers for a couple of weeks in the summer. When they departed the Travellers left piles of rubble and rubbish behind them, which cost thousands of pounds to clear up, before moving on to Carnival Field.
These Travellers have already moved on from the field near the high school, but they have not travelled far as the group have now set up camp just down the road in Handforth.
A spokesperson for Cheshire East Council said: "A group of Travellers, consisting of 12 caravans, arrived on land near Wilmslow High School last night.
"Council officers and police have visited the location. The police issued the Travellers with a section 61 order (of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994), requiring them to leave the site before the end of the day.
"Unfortunately the Travellers have now moved to the former Airpark site, next to Bhs and Tesco, in Handforth. Council officers have visited the location and we are now moving forward with the legal process to secure possession of the site."
