Sefton Council are taking legal steps to remove travellers from a former school field in Netherton.
The camp has been set up on the school fields of the former Bootle High School, which closed its doors for the last time in 2009.
The group are believed to have only appeared in the last 24 hours, with travellers making appearances across the area recently and one group staying on a field of the also closed-down St Ambrose Barlow College on Copy Lane for over a week while Sefton Council worked on moving them on.

A spokesperson for Sefton Council said: “We are aware of travellers on the grounds of Bootle High School, Browns Lane and will be following the legal process to ensure they are moved on.”
Travellers have also been spotted on Thornton Bypass and at Southport Park and Ride in the last month, with Sefton Council saying they were working to remove them from the land.
