Travellers have set up camp in the car park of a community centre in Bolton.
The group have moved to the car park of Newbury Community Centre in Farnworth.
The Bolton News received reports of the encampment on the evening of Tuesday, May 20, with images showing multiple caravans parked across the site at Buckley Lane, Bolton.
Their arrival comes just a day after travellers were reported to have parked up in Peel Park, Little Hulton, on Monday, May 19.
Unauthorised encampments happen when groups stop on land without the landowner’s permission.
Councils and police have legal powers to deal with encampments, but they must follow specific procedures before people can be moved on.
It is not yet known how long the group intends to remain at the site.
Bolton Council has been contacted for comment regarding the encampment and whether any action will be taken.
