I completely understand everyoneโs frustration with the unauthorised encampment on Haresfinch Park.
As soon as we were made aware yesterday afternoon, we reported it to the relevant council officers and contacted Merseyside Police, who said they would attend.
Unfortunately, neither councillors nor the police can simply tell people to leave council-owned land. The council has to follow a legal process first, and police powers only apply in certain circumstances.
Weโre continuing to push for the quickest possible resolution, and Iโll provide an update as soon as I know more.
