Travellers that spent most of Christmas and the New Year in Southport have now moved on (January 4 2015).ots-princes-park-chairots-princes park-metressIt appears that it was too much trouble to travel 100 yards across the park to the waste bins. ots-princes park-bin

The Travellers who left Dunes car park have now relocated to Princes Park behind the old Southport Zoo.

The travelling families looked to be enjoying themselves today, burning fires and children playing in the park.

UPDATE: Travellers move on but leave plenty of mess

Travellers that spent Christmas in Dunes car park have now left (Monday 29th December).

Cllr Tony Dawson on the JOB!  ‘Travellers’ (sic) on Sefton MBC Splashworld CarPark – and in Ainsdale

Southport Lib Dem Councillor, Tony Dawson thanks OTS News.co.uk for highliting the fact that travellers have descended in different locations throughout Southport today (Wednesday 25th June 2014).

Cllr Dawson has emailed Sefton Council and Merseyside Police to take action to remove them off Council land, see below……..

Margaret,

Further to my previous email (below) I gather that there are also travellers on Princes Park:
They are breaking out everywhere – I would be amazed if this is a co-incidence as it will doubtless stretch our Council and Police resources locally. It is like a much milder version of ISIS in Iraq!

Margaret,

It appears that these ‘travellers’ (below) are staying put!
Can we take steps to shift them asap if this is not being done already?
There are also, apparently, ‘travellers’ at Kings Meadow in Wooodvale.
I am sure Cllr Preece would be more than happy for these, too, to depart.
Thanks for your assistance in this.(Cllr) Tony Dawson
