Travellers have once again set up camp on Earl Road in Handforth. They arrived on the Council owned land near Handforth Dean retail park on Sunday, 18th May.

A spokesperson for Cheshire East Council said: "A group of Travellers, consisting of 12 caravans and several vehicles, is currently based on Earl Road, Handforth. They arrived on Sunday, May 18.
