Travellers refuse to leave Lancaster car park

Caravans and other vehicles have been parked on the Lancaster City Council owned car park behind The Grand Theatre in St Leonard’s Gate since Thursday, October 24.

A council spokesman said: “They arrived on Thursday evening and were served notice to quit on Friday, giving them until Saturday morning to leave.

“They did not comply with the notice and as a result our legal team will be seeking a court order today to regain possession of the land.

“The cleansing team are visiting the site regularly to clear up any rubbish.”
