quote:

In 1968 a law was passed saying that each local council had an obligation to provide a site for every Traveller. This promise was never honoured and the sites that were provided were often old rubbish tips or even under flyovers, places no one else would want to live.

In 1994 the conservative government abolished the Caravan Sites Act and took away the obligation for local councils to provide sites. At least 5000 families were left without any legal home. The Gypsies and Travellers were told that they should look for their own sites and that councils would give them planning permission. Again this never happened and families were forced to either go into housing or apply for planning permission retrospectively, because
 no Gypsy could ever get planning permission granted because of local prejudice.

Perhaps if the above hadn't happened local councils wouldn't have to house travellers in council properties.

quote:

Another neighbour said: "A house like that one should be worth around £1.2million. But with the state it's in at the moment, it might only be worth £700,000."

For anyone who's not read the article, that's the essence of it right there.


Hahahahahahaaaaaa.

Well, exactly.  The woman in that piece said she just wanted a nice site to live on, as she didn't want to live in the house either.  There's not many places for people to go.

Cupcake, I'm confused. Why would anybody ridicule your posts?  

From what I could gather travellers are as reluctant to move into a property in a settled community than those within the community are to have them,mutual hostility really.

Aww doncha just love fair and balanced reporting? I do, hence me not clicking the link

 Fracas. And all the surrounding £1.2 million homes aren't looking their value at the moment.

Well said Fracas
And as for the report, well all the evidence I see in the pics, (as opposed to the report,) is of one room that looks stripped ready for decorating and a wheelie bin that's a bit overflowing, (and, I suppose, with 12 kids that's inevitable.)

Cupcake;Royal family bashing is pathetic IMO, as they OBVIOUSLY have no choice in the life they have been born into

same as those 12 kids were born into it??

I wonder how many complaints there were when it was a hostel??
