How many stories do you hear of of TRAVELLERS helping in the community to make things better for the people of hyndburn???? I work for a company in accrington which supplies materials to Hyndburn Borough Council, The Councils Hyndbur Homes Dept do maintinance work at the site in Huncoat. One of the lads who work for the council was replacing the doors on the wash room house they have which someone had kicked in and stole a washing machine!!!! He got half way through the job turned rond and his van had been hotwired and stolen along with all his own tools!!!! The police turned up and said how could he prove that the travellers had done it??? If you ask me the police and this goverment need to put some control over these people. And start to protect us TAX PAYERS from being taken for a ride by these people. How many times do you hear good reports about them??? I have not heard any yet!!!! I in my opinion would make them pay council tax and tax on wages etc and make them prove how much they earn a week so it can be taxed apropriatley. If we have to do it why shouldnt they, they are no different from us so why should we have to and they dont!!!
