Status of current encampments
Below is a list of unauthorised encampments in the Cheshire and Warrington area. These are shown by Council area.
Each unauthorised encampment is given a name based on where it was first reported. The exact location of the encampment may be somewhere nearby. Similarly, there may be a slightly different number of caravans reported when the group first arrive. There is a procedure for dealing with encampments and the information is updated as this progresses.
