So, hear's the question.
In all seriousness. Would you risk buying a house that is (More or less) opposite a modest (But with the potential for expansion) Traveler site (SCC Council managed)
As far as I can see, there have been no obvious problems associated with the site crime/Anti-social behaviour wise.
According to the local crime site, a handful of shoplifting arrests actually on the site over the last year or so but nothing more than that and no crimes reported by the immediate neighbors where I might be buying (But since Police generally totally ignore criminal activity by Travelers, perhaps one shouldn't read too much into that
)
Personally, and in principle, I dont really think a small site (6 pitches or so on a council managed site) should be too much of a problem.. Not least because I suspect that, whatever they do elsewhere, Travelers living on an official site would be inclined to try quite hard not to upset their immediate neighbors.
(Indeed, if not in Blood, certainly in lifestyle, I am inclined to be a bit ***** myself, so having neighbors that are less likley to become ****** off by me and my activities might well be a win
)
However, it might make the house hard to sell in the future should I wish to, especially if the site is expanded.
So, what would OCUK do?
