It's all well and good the council saying that they are aware of issue, and liaising with the police, but what are they doing about it?

It's been some while since travellers have parked in this area - and it is so annoying to find they usually leave lots of rubbish behind them. It is frustrating that it takes quite a long time to get the necessary permission to move them.

Certainly they do need somewhere to park but the rest of us how to pay Council Tax etc. to live where we do.
