But only four caravans and one van were spotted at the site this morning.

A member of Cheshire West and Chester Council's Gypsy and Traveller Liaison Team has visited the encampment to carry out welfare assessments.

Last week, a group of Travellers left an ‘unauthorised’ camp in Blacon just as an eviction order was being signed off in court.

The convoy had settled on Cheshire West and Chester Council -owned green space off Shelley Road.

They stayed there for four nights before moving on.
