Around 10 caravans have moved onto the overspill car park behind Howe Bridge Leisure Centre in Atherton. The group is confined to the field behind the main car park, which is usually closed off by a gate. Wigan Council will conduct a welfare check and ask them to leave. If they refuse, the council has legal powers to remove them, a process that can take up to a week.
