A group of travellers set up camp at two different locations close to the A34 bypass recently.
Initially the travellers spent a week camped in the grounds of Wilmslow High School, adjacent to the A34 bypass. Once they were evicted from the High School they moved down the road to a field off the Alderley Edge bypass where they spent 5 or 6 days.
The High School is private land whilst the field next to the bypass belongs to Cheshire East Council so they will clearing up the site and removing all the rubbish today.
Wesley Hutton, Team Leader at Cheshire East Council, was at the site this morning. This is the same field where travellers set up camp in August 2011, after they had moved on a fence and gate were erected to keep people off the land.
He said "There was a padlock on the gate which is not there now. Thankfully it is not has bad as last time, a van load of fly tipped rubbish and two van loads of brash and trees. Last time it took two days as we got 26 tonne of garden waste and 15 tonne of litter."

Quite simply the police don't want to know.Far to easy to park up in a layby and turn a blind eye.
