A TRAVELLER group who had set up camp at Cheshire County Sports Club have now left the location, the Council have confirmed.

The group’s unauthorised settlement had been causing problems for regular users of the sports club, preventing them from accessing part of the field, and a police patrol had been scheduled to assess the camp on Thursday last week (July 25).

The group had been occupying private land with a total of five caravans in place on the site.

As the site is private, the responsibility to deal with the issue fell on Cheshire County Sports Club, with the Cheshire and Warrington Traveller Team able to provide help if approached.

The group left the location yesterday (Wednesday, July 31) after six days at the site.
