Field at Kerswell Green, Kempsey, near Worcester, empty after travellers leave

EMPTY: The field at Kerswell Green this morning EMPTY: The field at Kerswell Green this morning

LAND occupied for just under two weeks by a group of travellers was empty again this morning.

The entrance to the area of common land at Kerswell Green, Kempsey, near Worcester, is after the recent rain now muddy and deeply rutted by vehicle tracks.

The field is littered by plastic bags, broken toys and other rubbish. Parts of a child's trampoline and plastic bin bags have been dumped in a ditch at the edge of the site. However, the mess is not nearly as bad as that left on other sites in the Worcester area on occasions over the last year or so.

A court order had been made on Tuesday ordering the five families and 10 caravans to quit the field, which is owned by Kempsey Parish Council.

The travellers had always made it clear that they would leave when legally required to do so.

We need the Council to employ some heavies to get in there and demand £100 per day rent when travellers set up camp on public land! Ordinary people live in fear of the debt collectors - why shouldn't they?

Being public land doesn't mean its council land.

Did they also make it clear that they would clear up before they left.
Parasites, nothing more nothing less or for want of a better word......scum.

Maybe the council or whoever is unfortunate enough to have to clear up their filth every time they do this should transport it to the nearest permanent gypsy site and dump it on them, see how they like it. Give them a taste of their own medicine. It would be no good bleating about it being nothing to do with them, they want special status they can have it and all that they being upon themselves.
