A GROUP of travellers has moved onto greenery next to a children’s playground in Padgate.
Around 10 caravans and their associated vehicles have set up camp on Lysander Drive.
The encampment is currently behind Brook Acre Primary School and it is believed the group arrived yesterday evening, Monday.
A council officer is expected to attend ‘as soon as possible’.
This latest unauthorised encampment in Padgate is not the first in the town in recent week.
Last week, traveller groups moved onto land on Silver Lane in Risley as well as onto a former BMX track in Great Sankey.
However both of these groups have now left.
