    I'm not optimistic about anything positive coming out of this review: https://stratfordobserver.co.uk/news...lcomed-by-pcc/

    Travellers do things like this, and wonder why they get a bad press: https://stratfordobserver.co.uk/news...lub-site-6557/

    Shameful behaviour.
    Of course it'll fit, you just need a bigger hammer.

    It's been quiet on the traveller front recently; wonder whose land they're going to invade next?

    There seem to be a lot more illegal camps appearing recently: https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/ne...ieval-14951706

    It really pisses me off. There are places locally that they could stay at, but they don't because they have to pay. These illegal camps cost us a fortune in clean-up fees.

    I think the traveller movement have exploited their 'special' status for long enough, it's time that they lost it.

    This lot have been told to leave, but I wonder if they'll actually go?

    Currently issues with Gypos around Donithorn Ave in Nuneaton.

    There's some proper Gypsies knocking around the Stratford area at the minute; as far as I know they've not caused anyone any problems (1 family is even building a new caravan!)

    The genuine ones are welcomed every year Lex. There's even a farmer out Shipston way deliberately cuts a field for them to stay in. They come at this time every year and help him with his harvesting. I've never heard a single complaint about them.

    True gypsies respect the land (and land owners) and after a couple of days you can rarely see that they've even been there. It's the Didicoys and Pikeys that cause the problems.

    A very generous gesture by the local Traveller & Gypsy community: https://stratfordobserver.co.uk/news...-for-foodbank/

    The sarcasm in me wonders if they paid for it.

    Not on is it?

    Dig a bl**dy big ditch round them and hold them in until they've cleaned their mess up.
