Bid for faster action on illegal travellers' sites in Hull as caravans move to former Birds Eye factory

“Somebody pays these people for the tarmacing, tree cutting, uPVC, works and provide an income. Granted some earn from illegal activities and metal related trading but if people stopped employinmg them for cash in hand then that would also help.

The question about them pitching camp in areas in the East Riding has made me think....but go to Bridlington in summer time and there are plenty in the Woldgate area parked up on the roadside. Is it that they follow the "work"?”

“direct them to kirkella and westella areas and to where these high paid high powered useless council chiefs live. then see what happens.”

“I have lived in this area for at least 40 years, the "travelers" have been squatting on the land close to me, of and on in all that time, as rate payers we have had to pick up the bill for clearing up the area after them, Broken trees, ashphalt, brick rubble, house hold waste, disgarded caravans and the human S--t left in the ditches, to the tune of many thousands of pounds. They should be removed within hours of settling, regardless of the Law,
The worst culprits to blame are ourselves, "dont deal with them in any form whatsoever".
If they want to be travelers make them Travel.”

“About time that their removal process was speeded up - preferably to immediate! These people take everything - legally or illegally - and give nothing back, apart from leaving a mess of filth and damage. They have been protected by the liberals on the loony left, who don;t have to endure their them, for long enough. Tough action against these anti-social beings is long overdue!”

“It's about time we stopped tolerating these leeches. A law or something needs to be passed which gives Police/Local Authorities immediate powers to removethem without the expense of going through the courts for each case. Then as soon as they enter a site, the Police/Bali***/etc. move in en-masse and move them on, and whilst they're at it, checking EVERY vehicle for it's road worthiness and legality.
If this is allowed to carry on, it is only a matter of time before people get really peed off and start taking the law into their own hands like they have in other countries and then the travellers end up on the wrong side of baying mobs and petrol bombs, which none of us really want.”

“These people aren't "travellers" they're non bill paying tax dodgers who contribute nothing to society.Why should we encourage them by building short stay sites & funding them out of our own pockets.”

“Its a miracle the council are looking at it, at all, given that the Lib/Dems are such great fans of the much abused Human Rights baloney, and Labour, well, its not called 'red' tape for nothing, comrades..”

“steveodore; spot on. No one should rise to the bait. Ignore, ignore, ignore. ;-)”

“All I have to say on this topic is be careful what you post, I got banned the last time I commented on the traveller problem.
Oh, gaia69 is a WUM by the way.”

“And get the *****'s to take their mess with them when they go too!!”
