“The land owners have hired a private company to serve an eviction order on the travellers today.

“This has already been served and the Travellers have been given until 20.00 hrs today (Monday) to remove themselves from the land.

“If the eviction order is not adhered to the balliffs will be back tomorrow to enforce the order.”

And his message continued: “Feel free to discuss this on social media however please remember to respect all community groups.

“In these types of cases its always the landowner that is the lead agency or company.

“The police would only get involved if there are any reported breaches of the peace.”
