Bit of drone footage of their encampment would be interesting.

Yes, it certainly would - unless they have air rifles or similar and could take the drone down, which would be a shame for whoever owned it! Maybe an oblique view from a safe distance might be achieved if anyone wanted to have a go.

Just been announced today, they have 48 hours from Thursday morning to vacate the meadow. Of course, they won't take their rubbish with them! That's going to be a heck of a clear-up job... yuk.

I am not in anyway justifying anyone illegally camping or any other illegal activities that might have or are being conducted on the Upton site at present but I do think that some of our comments on this topic have been borderline racist and definitely very very prejudiced.

"prejudice"... "1.preconceived opinion that is not based on reason or actual experience.

Proof of the pudding will be what state they leave Upton Meadow in.

Then you are privileged to have not been threatened, or intimidated by them. You are privileged not to have your land left like a transfer station. In fact you are privileged not to have had any dealings with them as it seems you have obviously have not. They have no regard for any laws other than their own. This is from personal experience!!! I am not a racist, I'm a realist!

After years of trying to avoid creating a travellers transit site on the Wirral, the Council will be creating one (or more) within the next two years, they can no longer avoid the situation as the number of illegal sites shows there is demand - the Council's previous defence being that there was no demand.

I remember a proposal a number of years ago to have it in the A41 industrial corridor which I challenged as how are we supposed to attract new businesses if it has a travellers site (being realistic about prejudices, justified or not).

After thinking about this long and hard, the only site I can come up with is the land at the end of Riverview Road beside the Town Hall. I'm sure in that location sufficient resources would be put into sorting out any problems.

Contrary to popular belief, Council transit sites have both registrations and pitch fees. There is a side benefit that any breach of the site terms would make eviction easier presumably.

Next to the Town Hall, overlooking the river ? That would spoil the beautiful view for the tourists on the Mersey Ferry Cruise smile !! It is also a very built up area around there. I doubt the council would agree to it.

What is the land opposite Tarran Way Industrial estate ? Is that Council or maybe Cadbury's ?

Same problem as the A41 corridor, we are trying to attract businesses to that area. I think they are about to build houses on it as well.

There is no "right" area, that's why I propose to stick them under the council's noses to make sure everything stays by the book.
