Eviction proceedings started to evict the travellers from Deansgate Lane playing fields in Formby.
A traveller encampment was set up last night, Monday 5th July, on Deansgate Lane playing fields where the Formby Junior Foootball Club play every weekend.
Cllr Nina Mullen said: “Sefton Council have made a welfare visit to the traveller site at Deansgate Lane fields today and have started eviction proceedings which take around 14 days.
“They may move on voluntarily before then. The gates were locked but unfortunately this lock was broken open. It is most likely the same group that was evicted from Foul Lane in Southport.
“Every effort is being made to evict them from the site as quickly as possible.”

Surely, if the lock has been broken, they have committed the criminal offence of breaking and entering.

Criminal matters require a burden of proof. If no one saw the lock get broken, it’s only circumstantial.

As Donkey22 has said, there needs to be some sort of evidence of who damaged the lock.
What often happens is the lock is damaged a few days beforehand and then the travellers 'miraculously' come upon an insecure field and take up residence.
The travelling community are VERY up to speed on their legal rights and know exactly what the authorities need to do to move them along.

The bill going through Parliament changes the game for the traveling community.

Right! Well not only put a lock on the gates to prevent entry, but install cameras as well. Security cameras can be quite cheap to buy now.
