Traveller watch

Recommended Posts

Just had the plod in our office (Botley Grange) to say keep an eye out for our property etc as the travellers that were on the land at Stoneham are now parked up at the community hall land by Botley Grange. I have nothing against true Gypsys but having seen the destruction and mess they have just done to the land in Stoneham these poeple are not true Gypsys.Please do not employ them to carry out any ground works. Remmeber its your council tax is paying to clear up after them. What might Look like it A cheap job is not as its your council that has to clean up after this lot.

 

The council gave them portaloos up at Stoneham, they stole them, new trees ripped down and the walkway by the river has had all its timber ripped up and burnt. Piles of rubble and nappies etc everywhere. This was a nature site that has been very badley damaged

I can never understand once they are illegally trespassing on a site, the landowner just blocks them in. Rather than trying to get them out, stop them from getting out. They then can't lay their tarmac etc. When they have cleaned up, filled up and paid for the skips blocking the entrances they would be allowed to leave. Until then no access, they would soon think twice about squatting.

Nice idea, but if they have the tools to do half the "jobs" they do, and days of being blocked in, I'm sure they would manage to get out again

About 4 years ago the rear Ford Car Park (Cemetry Lane) was occupied by these type of people. The Ford legal team were notified immediately (they are sh!t hot at protecting Ford property). Transport said they would block them in with their trailers from Barton Park.

 

Ford legal warned transport not to and 'moves' were made to engage them in 'discussions'.

 

They disappeared, common rumour was that a 'saggy chops' type of deal took place.

 

The car parks were fitted with height barriers that very weekend!

They were here in Hamble for about 6 weeks until they got turfed out a few days ago, camped in a field on Hamble Lane just before the College as you come into the village. They tried to stop Police gaining access to their site by parking an old battered caravan across the entrance. Initially they piled into the Health Centre during the middle of the day. blocking the entrance for a couple of hours until the Police came and moved them on.

 

A few days after they arrived some bloke knocked on the door and predictably offered to tarmac my driveway. They also tried to break into the pharmacy at Blackthorn Health Centre, stole loads from the co op by aerostructures and broke into a few houses and sheds around the top part of the village too.

Cards on table, where should travellers/gypsies go? No NIMBY'isms, where should they live?

 

Btw, much as I hate the pikey term I accept that it does suit some people's agendas.

 

I have to ask myself what Deppo would make of all this.

There should be small teams formed of Police, Inland Revenue and Customs. They would check car tax and insurance, income tax and VAT. I'm sure this lot would rapidly exit when they knew that they were on the way.

 

There are authorised sites (Kanes Hill) but if they stay there, they pay for electricity, water and Council Tax.

The same place as they go during the winter possibly?

 

About 4-5 years ago a bunch of travellers landed in Riverside Park next to the infants school, they literally took over the play area for their kids, not allowing local kids to play there, sometimes physically. When they left the playground had to be closed while the council cleared the area of nappies, excrement, litter, gas bottles, they even dumped a car there FFS.

 

I don't have an issue with them pitching up at the local park as such. I have an issue with the intimidation and the detritus they leave behind.

Is that you Stanl... ah. Maybe not. :scared:

 

As a matter of fact we have our own pet gypsys outside the village and I refused to sign the petition to have them ejected. This is not to say they don't thieve (I have heard no reports that our gypsies do) and if they do it's well known that in areas with a community (slums such as Beastleigh are not applicable) they don't tend to play in their own back yards. I have actually been invited into the matriarchs caravan (or trailer as they call them) and it was very nice and she said that some 'bad' gypsies wanted to rock up into their field and they stopped them.

Fords paid them £50k to move, the exchange was done and then the cheeky gits asked for more cash to fill up Diesel. They broke down the fencing on the land at Botley Grange that they are on now. Personaly i hate them, they are not proper travellers. Security has been stepped up around the offices but i bet the copper piping on the outside AC units will vanish soon. We had a lad badly burnt trying to nick the copper out of a big mains board on a remote telecom site a few years back . They even tried to take NTL as it was then to court saying it was our fault he got hurt. Untill the bleeding hearts brigrade have these poeple next to them and see what they are like things will never change.

Pomp*y, no one would notice the difference. Failing that, they should be shot on sight. We could even have a pikey hunting season, to allow them time to breed and supply us with more sport. Far more useful to the community than killing a few foxes, and would keep the hunting types happy. Everyones a winner!

Literally... They told Hamble school's gym management that if they were forced to leave, they'd smear their sh!t up the wall... They were allowed to use the showers on the condition they respected other people and that after the threat... Yet they still smeared their excrement up the walls anyway. Scum.

You should seek election to local govt on the back of that policy.

One of the funniest things i've seen, was when the police raided a load of pikey caravans that were parked up on the retail park next to the Madjeski stadium in Reading, they had their caravans parked up about thirty feet from the entrance to the BHS homestore. Whilst stuck in a traffic jam caused by the police raid, I witnessed police officers walking into the caravans and coming out again carrying BHS branded boxes with all kinds of lighting fixtures and fittings, Microwaves, kitchen sets, cutlery sets, crockery, bed linen and tv's and dvd players and walking it back into the BHS store. It was actually quite impressive to see the extent to which they had obviously been cleaning the BHS store out.

 

Also remember them moving onto a car park in Chiswick near where I worked a few years ago, after a few days of them being there, you had to watch where you stepped as they had been sh*tting and p*ssing all over the pavements, and smearing it on the road signs, trees and peoples cars. Cars were being broken into every day and having their contents nicked and when they did eventually leave they left a mountain of rubbish, dirty nappies and sh*t behind them, that took the council a week to get rid of.

 

Can't say as i really care about them or where they go, so long as they show some respect to the people who live wherever they rock up to, for 365 days of the year and the land itself by cleaning up after themselves. But apparently they think they are special and refuse to acknowledge the byelaws and basic decency and sanitation that the rest of us live by.

If I was to tell you that my family have been members of the caravan club for the past 80 years does this mean we can all have free accommodation and pitch up where ever we like as part of a persecuted minority

 

Likewise travelling showmen/circusses have been around for many years but seem to leave their pitches in a reasonable condition##

 

Why cant others?

I consider myself a nice bloke but I really do hate pikies and don't like the way they get away with everything. Don't lock them up just burn their stinking caravan and pay them a fiver for the pleasure ask them to wash and clean the site before tagging them and make them do community service untill they can pay tax like the rest of us.

 

COYS

 

PS heard loads of a story where they get carpets fitted (I know do they live in houses) and when the rest of money was asked the owners are intimidated, told not to tell the police which due to him having a family he didnt. I'd like to think I would go to the police but can't really say for sure. Due to not being inbread with a hundred brothers note sure I could. Would stand up for the community if everyone wanted them off land if they were near me.

If they were law abiding, tax paying citizens and left any area as they found it i don't think most people would mind so much where they went/go.

 

But they aren't and they don't, so thats why most people get real ****ed with them and the legal system that doesn't/can't hold them to account.

I dont understand why they are not arrested as soon as they tresspass? Im pretty sure if I roled up with a caravan and parked on the local playing fields i would be done for trespassing?

 

I know there are usually 30-40 of them at a time but surely if we just clamped down and said you will be arrested and banged up unless you go to an official site this would solve the problem??

 

I dont see why anyone in this day and age should get away with trespass and criminal damage of anyones property. Especially when they pay nothing towards the systems and facillities they then use! I say build official sites which can cope with the capacity of travellers and then deal with the problem when they dont use those sites.

I saw first hand the mess these scum left at Romsey Town FC.When people call these scum gypsys they are doing real gypsys down,these scum are mainly Irish tinkers out on the make during the Summer months they use intimidation so as you let them Tarmac your drive with the leftovers from a large job they are doing on a road nearby LOL.Another one is carpet laying with stolen carpet,and offering to buy your Vehicle for a bargain price and then sending the heavies round when you refuse.My Uncle owned a pub in Hampshire and his way of dealing with these Scum was "two ferkin gert Alsations and a 12 bore" .I have seen the Cole Family (Funfair) enjoy many a beer or two in his Pub without any bother,but these scumbags are a different breed altogether NOT Gypsys.

Back in the early 60's my father had a very bad road traffic accident which meant he was off work for over 12 months all in the days before the support you may get today. He was a self employed man and there were six children so money was very tight. Some of the first people from the village knocking on the door of our house offering help (financial & material) were the local gypsies (Coles & Barnes) who were living in the village and knew my dad from the local pub. Shaped my iopinion of them and they were top people and not like these shisters.
