They have now moved on (court order in place) to New Brighton dips and police are with them, someone has reported. Presumably they'll not be allowed to stay there? A clear-up operation will now have to take place on Upton Meadow.

A clear-up operation will now have to take place on Upton Meadow. You fret too much Greenwood, these are nice people and have probably forgotten to take their sh!t with them. I feel sure they will come back and clear it up. But don't hold your breath.

But the bollards would also stop fire engines if some idiot decides to set the woods on fire.

I am wondering about those concrete bollards... the meadow is mown seasonally. Maybe they're going to put in one that can be locked in place and lifted out if necessary, to make a wide enough gap for the machinery. Ah well, wait and see I guess.

Sorry rock barriers were what they going to put up. Don't quite know what they are.

They are standard equipment against land squatters, sometimes with a ditch as well to make it slightly harder.

They're not likely to come back just to be moved on again. Maybe have a supply of wheel clamps ready to use and a notice big enough to read, just so they can't pretend they didn't see it.

The travellers are believed to had left the Wirral now, I hope a forwarding address has been obtained to send the bill to.

They do take the biscuit, don't they ? Not only parking up in someone else's back garden, but they've even got the table chairs and sun parasol out too !!

Its pathetic that a fast-track eviction system hasn't been set up.
From experience in other matters I don't see why the police don't prosecute for disturbing the peace, with Urban Exploration if you trespass and don't leave when asked the police prosecute but travellers seem to be exempt.
HMRC should pay a visit as well.
