Travellers set up camp in Tulketh Street car park Southport

A group of Travellers have set up camp in the Sefton Council owned car park in Tulketh Street in Southport.

Massive caravans taking up four parking spaces are all around the car park. Bags of rubbish have been tossed onto the ground.

Unauthorised encampments
We do not provide a transit site for Gypsies and Travellers moving through the borough seeking a short stay. As a result this can lead to unauthorised encampments.

We have an Unauthorised Encampment Policy to manage these encampments in a way that addresses both the support needs of the Gypsies and Travellers and the rights of the settled community.

There was not a parking enforcement officer in sight.
