Travellers on Carnival Field

We have approached CEC to ask as to the current position relating to the Traveller's occupation of the Carnival Field.  We are advised that the arrival of the Travellers just before the weekend has slowed matters down as CEC need a court order and this cannot be obtained over the weekend.

 

CEC will be going to court on Monday to register the case followed by a court hearing on Wednesday to obtain a repossession order.  They then expect the Travellers to leave by the end of the week.

Homewatch Alert

I have received the following from a Homewatch member who wished me to circulate this warning :

A neighbour has reported to me that when she carried some shopping from her car into her house someone stole carrier bags with goods purchased from M & S and made off with them. Her car was parked on her driveway, but she had left the boot lid open (which I’m sure a good number of people do – including myself.) You may think it worthwhile mentioning this to other Homewatch Schemes as a warning

The vehicle was parked in the Grangeway area of Handforth. Please be warned !!
