Redrow Homes are taking legal action to remove a group of Travellers who have set up camp on their land in Ewloe.

Around a dozen caravans are currently pitched up on a grass verge close to the firm’s St David’s Park base.

The group, who also have a number of vans and caravans, arrived at the site on Sunday evening.

This is the second time in three months that Travellers have set up camp in Ewloe – with more than 20 caravans and vehicles occupying the old Unilever office site back in April.

A spokesperson for Redrow Homes said: “We are aware a group of travellers arrived on the evening of Sunday July 10th and trespassed onto an area of land near to our St David’s Park office.

“We are undertaking the necessary County Court proceedings to recover the land as soon as possible.”

It is understood that the Travellers are the same group who set up camp on waste ground next to a Flintshire superstore last week.

The convoy moved on to land near to Go Outdoors in River Lane, Saltney, on Thursday before leaving on Sunday evening.

They had previously been camped across the border on a playing field at Chester’s Westminster Park.
