A MEMBER of Cheshire and Warrington Traveller Team (CWTT) is set to visit a site in Ellesmere Port after an unauthorised camp was set up there yesterday (Monday, December 2).

A Traveller group, travelling in two caravans, set up camp at Westminster Car Park near the centre of the town.

The site is Council-owned land, meaning that the issue will be handled by CWTT, who will assess the camp with regard to welfare, obstruction of public services, and cleanliness.

The car park has been the site of unauthorised Traveller camps on two occasions within the last month.

The Council stated this morning that an officer from the team would be attending the location imminently.
