If elected members claim that, challenge them to prove it. Put in a FoI request to the council asking (say) how many illegal traveller camps there have been in the area in the last 5 years and the cost of dealing with them.your right to a point ( but our elected council members tell us at regular meetings when this subject always rears its ugly head that it is a Gipsy issue and their appears to be no real will or management structure to sort it out....Goring is six miles from us and people we known who live on the seafront are very displeased with the amount of MH's parking at the 'GAP '
As regards local residents being displeased, we have to realise that it isn't everyone who likes big white boxes. Local authorities have to balance the demands of all sections of the population. That's why I always urge people to identify a place where a positive case for establishing an aire can be made - i.e. the benefits can be shown to outweigh any drawbacks. It is much harder for an authority to argue against sound evidence for a specific place than it is for them to argue against a vague "we want an aire in the borough".
