Legal action taken against travellers at Dobbies in Peterborough
Dobbies Garden Centre in Peterborough took legal action to move travellers after they set up camp in the car park at Hampton on Wednesday.
On Friday, Nicholas Marshall, CEO, Dobbies Garden Centres, said: “We will make representation at County Court today to apply for a possession of property order, under common trespass laws.
“We will upgrade that application to the High Court, which if we are successful will allow us to appoint our own bailiffs.
"It is a great pity that it has to get to this stage, and that the police have been powerless to help rectify the situation on our behalf.
“We want to apologise to our customers and reassure that our staff are doing their utmost to ensure our customers continue to have an enjoyable shopping experience at our Peterborough garden centre.”
