It's quite unfortunate that UK residents must deal with a shortage of authorized sites for travellers in Runcorn in addition to the housing crisis in the country.
Therefore, a number of travellers in Runcorn are using the unauthorized encampments in Frodsham, Appleton Thorn, or Helsby like playing fields and car parks.
Government data indicates that there has been a 17% increase in the number of caravans on unauthorized plots and land not owned by travellers in Runcorn from 2016-2017.
Between 2010 and 2017 there was just a two percent rise in socially rented places in Cheshire.
Local authorities and landowners in Cheshire that are looking to regain the possession of their land and evict travellers in Frodsham, Helsby, or Appleton Thorn have two options.
First of all, you can vacate them using the common law in Cheshire.
This law allows landowners in Runcorn the authority to make travellers leave their property in Cheshire, and may even employ the use of force to do so.
Agents of enforcement will usually conduct common law evictions in Runcorn.
The notice of 24hrs is given to the travellers to vacate the place in Runcorn and the notice is served by the Denbigh Franks enforcement agents.
If the traveller remains on the property in Appleton Thorn, Frodsham, or Helsby at the expiration of the 24 hours, the Denbigh Franks agents are permitted by the law to remove them, using the police force if necessary.
