Testun llawn:
We, Rate/Taxpayers, do not provide public funds to subsidise these people's lifestyle
They are not taxpaying citizens. They pay nothing into society and so should not expect any special benefits.
It is of course true that not all gypsies are criminals, but as a general rule, their campsites create mess and
foster petty crime, putting further pressures upon our hard pressed services.
Until the local council and government collect funds from travellers for services and rubbish clearing we
should spent not a penny.
They should use a Campsite / Caravan Park like every other person who wants to travel. If they were willing
to pay like everyone else the Private sector would be building these Campsites all over the country; but since
they are demanding the rate/taxpayer provide these; at no cost to themselves, this isn't going to happen.
I would suggest any councillors voting for these proposals should buy a caravan, and become a traveller, because
voters will not forgive or forget.
