I take it that you missed the publication by the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister :doh:
As for the rest, just rhetoric without substance. Same old, same old. I would love to see a link to show that the police are too scared to uphold the law because the camps are travellers...............but I may not hold my breath for it.
The ancient history is the reason that there is this problem now. If the old customs would still apply now then there would not be so many problems now. For example, people complain about the east european migrant workers doing agricultural work. This used to be done by the Gypsies, yet when the laws were changed so they could not park up on a farmers land, with the farmers permission for the harvest. Then the farmers did not employ them but went for the migrants instead.
Most of this mess has been put on this country, and the Gypsy, by subsequent governments.

to sides to every argument :twisted:
seems a perfectly legitimate thing to do, start building a second after council staff go on a bank holiday jaunt. i would presume these peeple had there planning application granted for this little project? i know it is 2009 but no relevance there as to how some have to get planning permission for most building work, and how others can build a mini town and get away with it.
oh dear they seem to still be here despite an order for them to leave by JANUARY of this year, we are now in june.
a law abiding person would have had the baillifs round and been evicted the day the court order ran out. a local MP i am sure would also come to our rescue.. i think now somehow.
" Resident Barbara Griffiths has objected to the application, saying: "They, like us, have to obey the law, nothing has changed. The site, seen clearly from our house, is still occupied by many caravans. We ask the council to take every measure necessary to remove the travellers from Southend Lane as soon as possible."
where do these peeple get the money from to be able to keep the law at bay through the courts?
Star,
Illegal development without planning consent and illegal outside of the terms of any planning consent granted happens all the time all over the country, just pay a visit to any Town Hall and look at Planning Committee Agendas/Minutes - they are public records afterall.
From past experience, being both being Councillors at various times in different parts of the country and sitting on Planning, usually had one of these 2 types of issues to deal with most meetings, though to be honest only 1 'traveller' related one every couple of years.
To be fair the facts and any Officers recommendations being presented, discussed, voted on, and only then were details/names provided on request, so that as far as possible an impartial agreement was reached and the appropriate action taken.
In the Daily Wail link you've provided, then yes this relates to a Travellers 'development, though over the years we've heard or dealt with scores of cases from illegal domestic development through to whole houses, million £ + commercial developments, including a Super store, which all required 'enforcement action' by the council though see prescious few of those reported in the Wail.
But where will we get the yoghurt from when they've all been moved on.....
:rotflmao:
make sure you have plenty of bin bags, oh and the address of the nearest skip owner.
