Why do we not give authorities power to deal with "travellers"?

Remember what happens with other protected groups who can do no wrong.

Green-haired harridans break out the whistles and tambourines until society caves in to their will.

It's their human rights, innit.

If Cornwall Council complied with their obligations to create itinerant sites for travellers, rather than just the three residential sites that they've got in the county, the problems might not occur.  The council's strategy document is full of fine words but lacks any great commitment to actually spending any money!

They can say all the "right" things in their policy documents but the fact is that the councils and the permanent residents do not want these itinerants on their patch.

Legislation & determined action should make this free-loading, often criminal lifestyle as unattractive a choice as possible.

Councils should not have obligations put on them to cater for those who chose not to be a permanent resident with a stake in the community, using cash collected from that same local community. If folk want to travel around then the onus is on them to find or own suitable spaces, having gained permission to develop and use as temporary resident parking space. With obligations to keep and leave it in a tidy hygienic manner at all times; and not cause the locals any bother.

 

Amazing if authorities don't already have legal powers to prevent this sort of thing, the police should be moving folk on from unsuitable places or where they are causing mess or nuisance.  Probably down to more dodgy "human privilege" lawyers willing to take up cases to obstruct that which is right.  And maybe a general "woke" attitude by those in authority ?

should never have been given protected status under the equality act 2010, all i see is legal exploitation by them, like the publicans being taken to court over racism by said groups, now they again exploit that for cash (racist) against gypsy groups, park where you like defecate where you like...Shuush say nothing a protected species.
