They do not pay into the system and yet use all the facilities that they can blag free. Most of our local travellers have new and expensive vehicles and do not pay income tax. Why not offer the council land to a traveller at a commercial price and they can be responsible for letting it on council approved terms to other travellers? This would provide an income to the normal taxpayer, instead of us funding them. Also, the owner would be responsible for site cleaning , maintenance and adherence to societies rules applicable to the rest of us on our properties. Rent can be collected by this traveller "landlord" for his own profit and income tax would be charged to him. Class this as a think tank coz I know that many problems would need to be overcome, but is this the way forward? Immediate eviction should take place when they park on land that is not theirs and any cost needed to restore the area should be taken from them.
