Isn't it about time we acted with a little more authority than we do with these people, If I left the type of mess in my front garden I would expect a large fine, so here is my plan.
Travellers arrive on site, police attend because somebody reports a crime, the crime is trespass
Police remove vehicle keys,check fuel in all vehicles, check mot, licences, insurance etc.
Check chassis numbers on caravans.
Travellers now not capable of raiding your back yard, crime figures down. Ability to generate waste is removed by removing their ability to collect the rubbish
No vehicle movements mean no income, travellers will move on very quickly
Travellers will soon be chatting to all of their friends and Hyndburn would soon become a traveller free zone. Come on councillors have some balls get it sorted, the people of Hyndburn are sick to death of these people and only you lot can sort it out
