TRAVELLERS have been evicted from a Bolton town centre car park.
The group of 15 to 20 caravans moved on to the Folds Road car park, behind the Dog and Partridge pub, on Monday. They were evicted from the site on Thursday and some have moved to Moss Bank Park while others have gone to Waters Meeting Road in Astley Bridge.
It is the fourth place they have been moved on from in the last few weeks. They have previously been at the former site of Bolton Technology College in Grosvenor Street, Breightmet Street, and Manchester Road. Bolton Council issued a notice for them to leave the latest sites within 24 hours and, if they fail to do so, they will obtain a court order to evict them.
