TRAVELLERS TOLD TO LEAVE A34 SITE

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.

A 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.

The travellers were issued with a notice to leave by July 1st and were advised court action would be taken to secure repossession of the site if they failed to leave.

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.
