A TRAVELLER group has moved onto land outside a hotel in a Cheshire town.

The unauthorised encampment has set up outside the Holiday Inn in Woolston, Warrington.

It consists of seven caravans and their associated vehicles.

According to an unauthorised encampment log for Cheshire and Warrington operated by Chester West and Chester Council, the group first moved onto the land on Monday.

The land outside the hotel, which closed last year to accommodate migrants, is privately owned.
