The majority of travellers are fine. We have a large number in this area which also has one of the lowest crime rates in the country. However even our local lot would turn their noses up at tinkers (their classification). Problem is there are not enough pitches available for the number of travellers in the right area. You need separate areas for different clans or trouble is guaranteed. One of our wealthiest villages has several privately owned pitches and no trouble. The problem is with a few trouble makers and then unfairly tarring them all with the same brush.

This village has done the right thing - for them. The right thing for everyone, is more pitches in the right areas where some control can be gained. The nimbys are in many cases making things worse rather than better .
