just before a parish council meeting they noticed a large amount of caravans / travellers approaching the green field.  They flew into action by blocking there way forming a human train , yes they could have been hurt but at the end of the day police would have taken forever to get there if at all. and proberly would have let them all pitch up   Telling the village to go to a magistrate Surprised

well done to all of you I say Smile

    Just read it, very brave of them, as we have had in our area the problems and the intimidation and agressive methods they try are although not physical nearly as badFrown

    The other side of the city where I live have had very many problems and great cost to local authority as well for the clean up, they pitched up at the sports village car park last week , and the lads start training for Olympics at the velodrome shortly ,
    they are a dam pain and the law regarding them should be changed , they killed and ate 3 swans last year heard nothing after there arrest and if they even bothered to take them to court Yell

    Used to be travellers on a large park near Ardwick, Manchester as I travelled to work.  When they eventually left, the mess was awful.  So the city council put up a large mound of earth right along the edge of the park, high enough (about 2ft high) to stop
    them getting on.  They then planted the mound with spring bulbs and bushes - looks lovely and no travellers

    ..There are numerous in the past Traveler invasion hot spots in our are that have been so fixed by our council,

    Ps In their words "its not us that leave a mess when people know we are here they just dump everything and we get the blame"Surprised

    They had taken over the public pay and display carpark just outside the Tewkesbury CC site a couple of weeks ago. Hopefully they will have moved on, and their mess been removed, by now.

    Do CC club sites attract them ? When we were at Tredegar a few years back, there had been a problem with travellers camped adjacent to the CC site.
