Permanent gypsy sites - Page 2

Can anyone hitch up their caravan, and have a little holiday on a council run site?

I do hope so.

If the pitches were reserved only for certain people, they could be guilty of racial discrimination.

Thank you

There is only one site locally and it's called ACCRINGTON

Have they been moved on from Huncoat Junior Football Club grounds yet?
I note they were moved very quickly from land adjacent to Arden Hall and surrounding streets

Just to let you know they were not moved within a day they actually were on the playing fields for a week or so only to move yesterday apparently

So are you saying post65 on the travellers thread is inaccurate?as it was posted by the Local M.P. aint saying you are wrong, but am saying "a week or so" n "apparently" is hardly accurate.

what i am saying is i emailes several people including Clare Pritchard and Bernard Dawson and spoke to enviromental health and bernard dawson rang me back (and said he diodnt know they were in huncoat) re the travellers on Huncoat playing fields on monday 20th june after they camped there on the thursday/friday previous having been moved from arden hall they have only just moved this weekend saturday / sunday so where or MP gets the information that they were moved within a day and a pat on the back for the labour group astounds me

i never said they were moved from arden hall because he lives near there as certain accusations are being made however my whole argumant is (and i have emailed the labour group this) if we get a court order to move them from hyndburn then thats what should happen and not move the problem from one area to another and if our MP was so active in getting this done with others helping why didnt this happebn he is the MP for the whole of HYNDBURN i trust

Maybe our MP should just go back to London and let the council sort it out?

I don't know whether the travellers Nic were the ones who were also on Arden Hall,but I agree with you we don't want to shift them from one site in the Borough, only to find they've turned up somewhere else in Hyndburn. Its not an easy problem to solve, as you well know, but as a Council we need to be using the existing powers the Council already have, which are considerable, in addition to going for court orders to move the travellers on.

You should perhaps tag your own diddicoys in future, so they don't get mixed up.

Would that be electronic tagging by any chance ? You know, just curious.

i take that is sarcasm Ken i am only saying what the public think if we move them off one part of hyndburn and get a court order that should be to remove them from hyndburn completely

if i have your response wrong them i apologise

i aggree bernard but the court order to move them off surely should be to remove them from hyndburn or the court order process needs looking at as this can get expensive if we keep moving them around hyndburn surely the object of a court order is to remove them from Hybndburn
