AN unauthorised traveller encampment has been reported in Warrington.

Three caravans and associated towing vehicles have pitched up without permission on land in Woolston.

This is according to an unauthorised encampment log for Cheshire and Warrington, operated by Cheshire West and Chester Council.

The log states that the group arrived on privately-owned land at Aston Court today, Tuesday.

The Cheshire and Warrington Traveller Team has confirmed in an update this afternoon that bailiffs are to be instructed to ensure the site is vacated.
