TWO families made up of travelling showpeople are set to be relocated from their town centre home by next spring.

In August the council withdrew plans to move the families from their current home, on Foundry Street, to Hoyle Street in Bewsey following scores of objections.

Work on finding a new site is progressing.

A council spokesman said: “The council, Warrington & Co and the showpeople have maintained regular meetings and have a both positive and productive relationship.

“Warrington & Co are continuing to assess site options, though no firm proposed site has yet been identified.

“It is hoped that good progress will be made in finding a suitable site to enable the relocation of the showpeople by spring 2017.”
