They've done an amazing job. The guys at the parish council got straight on with the process at 10pm at night when they first started getting the calls (things must be handled in a certain way or the process can be frustrated and can take longer) and TVP were brilliant in supporting them by all accounts as have been CDC. It has taken larger councils far longer to deal with this kind of problem as you probably know. Mike, Josh and George, our amazing haywardens, were up there at 6.30am cleaning up and as you can see there are mountains of rubbish, I can't believe how hard the 3 of them must have worked. CDC are coming in later with specialist cleaning team to get rid the more unsavoury waste and the police are coming to get the abandoned caravan. Brilliant job everyone.

What like the permanent camps we already have in the village? That's a permanent solution and certainly not NIMBYism. Edited by EmmaO - 20 July 2017 at 10:52am |

I don't understand your post Emma. I don't know why they aren't located there, full probably, and I'm also not suggesting they set up yet another camp in CSP. What I do mean is that it would have been better to sort out a permanent solution not a short term fix.

My point being your accusation of nimbyism is misplaced, we have permanent camps here in our back yard so to speak. And your comment that the way it's been handled is not very impressive is very odd. Not sure what you mean by a permanent solution? Probably a lot of people would love to know what that solution could be?

I just phoned the Parish Council to extend my thanks to all of those involved.

I don't have a solution, I'm not a Councillor. But asking the travellers to move on just pushes the problem to another area (out of your back yard, hence the term). So let's say that happens again a couple more times, and they end up back on Gold Hill common - what would have been achieved? Nothing.
A permanent solution would be allocation g proper sites for them, wherever that may be. |

I am sure we can all agree there should be a long term solution.
Whilst some people may suggest nimbyism, from a short term perspective, a load of Caravans turned up and clearly a number of organisations have worked together to get them moved on swiftly and I personally think their efforts have been impressive and require some applause. |

There are numerous permanent sites available for travellers up and down the country. Some travellers, however, prefer to travel than to stay put. That's not a problem in itself. The problem comes with the anti-social behaviour some may experience whilst they set up camp, and the mess they leave when they move on.

Just passed 3 caravans plus dogs, kids, etc parked down on the layby in Denham near the motoway roundabout. Hope they're leaving and not planning to return.

GXCSP - Of course there is NIMBYISM...a load of people turn up park all over the common, cause chaos, start excreting all over the place...who wouldn't want this moved on? I believe the people who are happy they have gone simply want to be able to use their local amenities again. I do feel for whoever has to deal with such uncivilised behaviour when they do move on but the village of St Peter should not have to deal with problem by allowing them to stay. Did you offer some space in your garden or drive to a few of the travellers to help out? If not your comments ae not very impressive.
