This evening several transits and caravans have broken down the gate to the school field at the end of our road and set up camp there.
We and several neighbors have phoned the police, they seem to be spectacularly disinterested. We are not sure why although we suspect it is because despite the criminal damage of breaking the gate there is no proof as to who did that and once they are in it becomes a civil matter not a criminal one.
I've also phoned our local councillors and left a couple of messages on their answerphones.
I'd like to know what happens next? Who has to evict these people and how long does it take? In the meantime if stuff starts to go missing locally would a bit of summary justice work do you think?
It's particularly galling because our council is one of the few in the area (possibly even the country) to provide transit campsites for travellers but they don't use them because apparently they are not in a very good area..........  ____________________ Sod falling in love, I wanna fall in chocolate.  |

Are the local children able to safely get to and from school?
I would have thought the police would become slightly more interested when they realise that several hundred children will be without education until the travellers are moved on...? ____________________ Avast! Pirates ahoy!

Call the police and mention something about how you've seen them with guns.  |

Nothing wrong with them living on the road, its when stopped that they cause problems by stealing everything that isn't bolted down. And I don't really think it's discrimination when peoples prejudices are because of past encounters with gypsies... |

This makes me laugh, lots. As it only reminds me of a few years ago when my town, Altrincham was swarmed by gypsys, and they managed to set up shop on a scruffy old car park, pretty much bang in the middle of Alty centre. I'd not only seen but heard of more scuffles with them and the police and even after a rough 4 to 5 weeks after their arrival they were still there.
One day driving near the car park I noticed that the council had put up big metal barriers (with height restrictors) and lots of big rocks about a cubed metre along the barriers of the car park, thus stopping them get out. What made even more hilarious was the fact that I had a friend who was mates with one of the contractors to put in the metal barriers and the rocks and told me a good few stories about that day. Either way the gypsy's kicked off and said they couldn't do what they were planning to, in the end they managed to finish their job and within 24 hours they were all gone. There was an old mini metro smashed up with one of the rocks pushed out into the adjacent road which gave them enough room to pull their caravans through the gap.

get your local pub landlord to get a vicious guard dog, he has to keep the dog in his yard with big signs up saying beware of the guard dog, hopefully this will entice the pikeys to steal the dog and when the landlord goes on telly or the local news paper to say that the dog is likely to injure the people who took it, pikey will start laughing about the theft prior to the dog almost ripping apart one of their pikey children, they will then feel really stupid, and leave to cover their embarrassment
well it worked for the landlord of the pub near me in newcastle a few years back  ____________________ Do not presume that I am male. |
