Bother your local ward councillor, it is the council that will need to take action, bothering your councillor is the best way to get officers to 'jump'.

I shall pull up a chair.

Indeed some people are bound to make derogatory remarks about travellers.

Try asking them to move on politely – they are usually very amicable people and will often move on without any bother.

Either that or try a voodoo curse – pikies are harder to get rid of than syphilis.

Good luck

Throw a bar of soap at em

And already it begins.

Quicker than I thought...

Season of good will to all men - pah...

You should buy some lucky Heather of a local traveller the next time you see one.

I also need to get rid of a fridge and a washing machine

The last socially acceptable form of racism - paraphrasing the CRE.

Do you work in Morley? I saw some burnt out caravans outside an office there yesterday.

Looked like they were moving on. There were also two young lads trying to control a pony that had been startled and was running down the road.

The method to stop a run away pony appears to be to jump on its back while your mate has hold of its neck.

Got any better ideas? Give it a phone so it can call the horse version of Childline and talk its issues through with a trained counsellor?

Where i used to work in churwell hill the boss had to go to get an get an eviction notice before they would move on, cost him thousands.
2 days later a different lot where there but one of them had been to hospital and had a bandage on leg..aparnetly it was unsafe for him to move till he fully healed and even with an eviction notice you can`t then move them on, they know every rule going so good luck.

If they are there other than going through the legal routes to get rid of them there isn't a lot you can do.

But when they leave make sure you secure the ground to make it a lot harder for them to get on in the first place.

It can be done fairly quickly but you will need a court order.

I've done a fair few and in all cases when served with the order the "persons unknown" move on peaceably as they don't want the attention.

Will cost you though in legals fees and court fees.

Contact a few reputable solicitors for a quote.........


........ps, in relation to the points made by the two posters above the order will prohibit their return with a certain period.

Isn't woooaaahhh English for stop a horse?

Just shout that a bit. Failing that a quick scissor kick to the temple.

Look in the hedges behind RS trade counter, theres 3 of them.

Yes. That was probably them, as they set it loose in our carpark. It is currently grazing on the hedges on phillipa way.

Theres not really a lot you can do.
To do anything proper you will need a court order which will cost which has already been mentioned.
I think its best to ask politely or just to wait till they move on.
Like the fact you have called them Travallers and not G y p o s too as i come across them quite often through work and no i am not a traveller myself.

Put loads of salt down near their caravans. They shrivel up if they touch salt.

I was in the "Gildersome Arms" <the old mill house>on boxing day for a couple of beers with a mate, and you couldnt move for Gypo's, it must have been their xmas do or something, ive never seen as many mullet hair cuts in one pub!

They've got a site up there my brother lives round the corner from the new inn and noticed plenty them around.

That's just silly. Then best way to stop any 4 legged animal thats going crazy around town thinking its hard hoofing people is to get off with it.

It's the best way.

Going back a fair way on this but if you would like to see the travellers in question who were running riot around LS12 that i was complaining about before there is a smashing piece in tonights YEP about them. Some nice photos too and most helpfully names





So next time they are round LS12 again we now have names and photos of them. joy.

Bugger, I got all excited then. I thought Juice Terry was back.
