Ellesmere Port Sports Village (Google Street View)
A TRAVELLER group who had set up an unauthorised camp at Ellesmere Port Sports Village have now left the area.
The group, which had arrived at the site in three caravans last Thursday (November 21), had been facing legal action with the Council set to obtain a court order.
Encampments on Council-owned land are subject to checks by Cheshire and Warrington Traveller Team, before a decision is made as to whether to move the group on.
If the group does not move by an agreed date, further action, such as a section 77 notice or possession order can be served.
The Council confirmed on Wednesday morning (November 27) that the group had now vacated the site.
