From the Macclesfield Express
Travellers have returned to Earl Road in Handforth Dean – despite the council putting up barriers to stop them setting up camp there.
A group of nine caravans and two motorhomes initially parked within the grounds of Total Fitness last Saturday, before moving to the space opposite Tesco on Monday evening.
The council had installed a large tree trunk and barriers a few weeks ago on the land in a bid to stop travellers stopping at the site.
A spokesman for Cheshire East Council confirmed that travellers had settled on Earl Road in Handforth since Monday.
He added: “Council officers have visited the location and we are now moving forward with the legal process to secure possession of the site.
“We will be serving the Travellers with a notice, tomorrow (Thursday), to quit by 5pm. If they do not leave the site we will seek a court order to secure repossession.”
