On Saturday, September 24, residents in the Hasland area reported that a group of travellers had established an encampment in land off Heathcote Drive, close to Calow Lane.

As of today (Monday, September 26), the group remains in place. Photos show a number of caravans parked in between the goalposts of a football pitch, with one resident of a neighbouring property reporting “fires and lots of noise.”

The Derbyshire Times has contacted Chesterfield Borough Council for a comment.
