Just been shopping at Morrisons as I was leaving a convoy of around 6 more caravans where going onto the site gggrrrrr

They have been moved on (not for the first time) from Croft. They have made camp on various sites in the north Warrington area over the last couple of years, perhaps Cheshire Police have told them that there are richer pickings in Leigh.

Saw them moved pretty quickly in Warrington a few years ago, need to do same here

there will be more caravans than Sheffield fans

I saw 2 vans coming on at 6.20 tonight.they should've have set something up to stop anymore coming on.they didn't bother with the roundabout near car park just rode over the kerb and grass.7.45 they were wheel spinning two cars where the coaches park.we were watching it from training at the waste.be a nice mess to clean up the longer they stay.like to see the sports village ticket their vans for illegal parking..lol

I'd clamp the bstards ,and build a big concrete wall round them

Get one to tow the trailer down and dump it on concourse for us Steve they don't need insurance

they are not just in caravans,theres a lot of irish gypsies moving into rented properties around town (i know of 5 different lots).got some next door but one to us.cant park some days after work for vans and cars visiting them.gardens a crap hole as well.council cant do anything about rubbish bags being thrown onto spare land (old parsonage rucks) as its private land..move them on as soon as possible before the stands roofs disappears.

Don't see the problem here myself, nobody has been hurt, no property damaged that I know of, can't see anything illegal thats taken place.
It's just some caravans on a car park.
I don't understand it, is it an 'Ethnic Minority' type of prejudice/ discrimination? What thread are we going to have next?
'Black man seen at LSV'?

We'll just 'Clamp the b*stard and build a concrete wall around him'

Good you can clean up all the e that they will leave behind when they move on mind you going off the last time the travellers parked on Pennington Flash car park you will be shovelling e into skips for a long time

If I was a worker for the council that worked in waste management, and part of my job description was tidying up rubbish, I would have no problems doing such, but as I'm not, I won't be.

Well I would, because it is me that would be paying you to do it, not our caravan living friends

Yes you're right Ian he travels from Salford all the time.

I take it that the social pays your council tax as you don't mind it being p!ssed up the wall on their antics? Or perhaps you could invite them to come and live with you for a while in the spirit of your benevolance!

My there are a lot of um isn't there?

Word soon get's round if they find a good patch.......supermarket, hotel, pub and sports centre on site, doesn't come much better.

Just had a swim at the sports centre it looks like a thompsons family resort with all the blow ups and screaming kids

S'allright once the sign 'Home of Leigh Centurions' goes up that'll fricky em all off.

I pay all my own taxes and have never claimed a penny in my life, if any our nomadic friends wanted to stay at mine i would have no problems with that whatsoever. Hope they are still here for the new season and the club makes them aware of Leigh Rugby, might add an extra 100 to our crowd if we're lucky.

I am not familiar with the comings and goings of Travellers but if they have kids with them how are those kids educated ? Serious question anyone know ?

like you and I, they have the right to be home schooled.

Whilst I appreciate that Jimmy how would a child's educational progress be monitored if their caravans were moving to another location quite frequently.`

Another few serious questions' how do Travellers pay for their clothes' food and petrol ? Oh and road tax ?

Do I have the right not to pay taxes?? And sheete wherever I want?

I think theres a massive common misconception that Nomadic gypsies don't pay taxes, the legal site 100 metres from mine in Pennington has about 15 white vans which are out everyday doing small jobs around the area, they filled in the huge pot holes down the side of one of our rugby pitches at Leigh RUFC last year for free, I spoke to and thanked them for doing it at the time, they pay their taxes through PAYE, not forgetting paying road tax, VAT on all their materials, petrol etc.
