and live on Freeview channel 276
The group set up a camp off Storforth Lane over the weekend, with Chesterfield Borough Council saying they intended to serve an eviction notice and were ‘prepared to take further action’.
Groups can be served a Section 62 Notice that allows a senior officer to direct those in an unauthorised encampment consisting of at least one vehicle and caravan to leave land, if the local authority can provide a suitable pitch for the caravans elsewhere within the area. Failure to comply with a police direction to leave is an offence.
