A GROUP of Travellers have set up an unauthorised camp on land at Coliseum Way in Ellesmere Port.
The group, who arrived at the car park near Next this morning (Wednesday, November 6), are understood to have travelled in six caravans.
As the land is privately owned, the responsibility to move the group falls on the landowner, although help can be sought from the Cheshire and Warrington Traveller Team (CWTT).
The Coliseum Shopping Park is owned and managed by The Crown Estate, after it was purchased for £81m in 2013.
Cheshire West and Chester Council have been notified of the issue and are monitoring the situation, as per an update this morning.
