Council afraid to tackle car park traveller camps

-

It’s actually not bad and and probably what we could do with in modern times. Shame there isn’t a old fashioned pub to still stand beside it though! Dr John R&B musician, Juliet Mills, actress, Goldie Hawn, actress

Justin Langer, former cricketer, Jepsen, singer, I WAS astonished to read that Kirklees Council is unable to fine members of the travelling community for parking caravans on town centre car parks because they have no fixed address.

Given these people deal only in cash and each one of them is likely to have a large roll of bank notes in their pockets why couldn’t the council levy spot fines on them all?

If the travellers want to challenge such a fine they would only have to fill in the appropriat­e form, with their name and address, so that it could be reviewed.

The traveller community seems to want all the benefits supplied by the state without any of the responsibi­lity and without paying either the taxes or council levy the rest of society has to pay.

Parking on public car parks carries a charge we all have to pay and a fine if we fail to do so.

There is no excuse for the council not to treat these people in the same way.

I suspect they are just to afraid to do it. WINSTON Churchill led us through our darkest hour.

There are not many of us left who remember the wartime spirit.

For six years our people worked and fought together to secure freedom for future generation­s, not only in the United Kingdom but across the world.

We in Britain have been given the chance to regain independen­ce and self determinat­ion for our country.

After two years of non negotiatio­n from the European Union this opportunit­y must not be wasted.

Let us be pragmatic, let us join together and support a “no deal” Brexit and then they will have no choice but to co-operate.

Democracy is delicate and precious and it should not only be our aim but our duty to protect it.
