Council gives green light for site for five gypsy families in Market Drayton
Shropshire Council has given the green light to a new residential caravan site for five gypsy families in Market Drayton.
This is true , you don't poop in your own backyard.I know a few folk that live near some sites and likewise, they don't have any problems with them - not sure how true it is but i was told it's because they don't cause trouble on their own doorstep and keep it further afield ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The next week we went there was a big sign up praising the fact that a new Travelers camp was being built if planning pass it.
Wow - Should the house developers have told anyone interested in their house that a travelers camp will go up over the road.

Two Irish travellers, Patrick Egan and John Sheridan, and a third man purchased the cottage and the green fields around it from Bocking for £120,000 in 2002.[9] The local residents reported a clear difference between the behaviour of the English Gypsies and the Irish travellers. Around that time more Irish travellers began to arrive and the Gypsies decided to move on.
I love this bit.![]()

Basically that translates to all materials will almost certainly be sourced from local businesses. But it doesn’t mean they or the services will be payed for."We are looking to start the works as soon as possible. All materials used and local businesses will be sourced to carry out the works through to completion.
or if you need any rubble there will be plenty of it around.And if they need their drives tarmacced, the same applies.
He probably acted the same as you would if you came home and found a load of kids playing in your back garden. I never understand why people think its ok to wander all over people's private land, just because its in the countryside!Farmer wasn't exactly nice either... would chase us across his farmland in his car proper trying to give us a good scare.
often people would be in a small wooded area in the middle of the fields shooting birds.
they would shoot over our heads so all the pellets landed around us etc to get us to move off...
back then no one ever had the idea to tell our parents, I reckon some of the dads would have gone up and beat the crap out of them.
There were public rights of way all through the fields, we weren't destroying his crops.He probably acted the same as you would if you came home and found a load of kids playing in your back garden.

Ah yes the race we can still openly be racist against!And if they need their drives tarmacced, the same applies.
Massive thread necro but I see this on my travels to Wales the past few days as I rarely venture into Wales I only caught it now. It intrigued me and ofcourse OcUk has already been and reported it.
All those brand new homes being built on the opposite side of the road must be going cheap as I noticed they are still building them but very few people are going to buy a house opposite a gypsy site. Most of them look empty.
Anyone have any update on this as it has been nearly a year from the op and nothing has changed since?
Me personally I would think having a travellers site on your doorstep is a positive as they generally don't poo on their own lawn so to speak.
Oh dear.
There is absolutely no way I'd want to live near one of these sites.
Unless I had exchanged I'd pull out. Wouldn't care how much I lost.
Having seen the amounof rubbish etc outside one that's a few miles from me no way.![]()
