Basildon council has voted if favour of evicting 80 odd families from dale farm
This asks 2 questions
1 can any council afford to waste 8 million
2 are these people now going to become an eyesore of caravans and rubbish on small areas of green up and down the country
well....seems to me to be a no win situation. These people are on green belt land without permission. Do nothing and more may join, and others could be tempted to do the same on other plots of land. However 8 million it states is a third of the councils budget. There is no way you can warrant spending that amount, in the current situation.
Looking at a 'related story' from the link
Half of the 1,000 people living at the farm do not have planning permission.
This would indicate that 500 people living at this site do have planning permission from Basildon District Council.
Presumably the Council know what is there 'legally' and what isn't, so they will/can only act against the 'illegal' ones ?
Re the £8m, presumably, this figure includes all the Concil time over the years and all their Court and legal costs, rather than they plan to spend £8m just on the actual physical removal ?
it it a labour concil as they all ways like to spend yr money. :twisted:
na i think its a conservative council two
still a lot of money my personal thoughts are let em stay in the one place as councils will spend a lot more than 8 mill getting em all moved on over the next ten years
If they had off been evicted when they first got there, we would not be in this position.
I live about 3 miles from this site and the local people's lives have been ruined by these travellers.
Good riddunce to bad rubbish.
i must say i do not envy you browning
i would think when they are evicted their going to pitch local at first
they have made the lives of local people a misery for far to long sadly they are undesirables who steal lie and cheat an over burdened system .
Essex council must have the money as they are throwing hundreds of thousands of pounds at altering already in place road safety features a certain road is closed for 5 weeks the actual job took 4 days but road to remain closed for next 4 weeks .
I think the funny thing will be they will probably evicted over Easter weekend when no council official can be contacted and gives the pikey's 4 days to ruin someone else's village
What is laughable most of them are Irish but in Ireland they saw sense are threw them out
