Travellers on Meols Cop Fields
I've have just been informed that Travellers are setting up Camp in the middle of the playing field. No doubt they gained access after finding a gate with a mysteriously broken lock?

Laws that forbid the carrying of arms ... disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants, they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.

Surely if these free loading scum bags have gained entry illegally, they can be evicted just as quickly, using whatever means are needed.

Totally agree, however, in the real world they have become “above” the law, they seem to be able to do whatever they want while the police and council point their fingers at each other.
Anyone else would be arrested for any number of offences, criminal damage, trespassing, littering, causing damage to council property etc, etc.
Saying that you cannot prosecute them because they are difficult to track down (no fixed address) is like giving them a free pass to do as they please.

My father in law tells a story that back in the 50's travellers turned up near where he lived in Hull. A group of dockers asked them to leave they left.

Have seen local farmers deal robustly with these free loaders, but sadly not seen as PC or legal these days.
Significant that when the scum have swiftly been given little option but to move, they and their "friends" do not return for another try.

An encampment of travellers in the South was recently raided by Police. The Police removed 8 caravans found to have been stolen, one quad bike, lots of white goods and some dogs. Seems that at least one Police Inspector has the right idea!

I believe also that a second group have set up on Foul Lane. The one's on Meols Cop Park are said to be foreign - wonder if the others are an opposition group or collaborators?
Also, I am informed that a group of travellers are seeking to purchase property in the area - if you are selling a house, NEVER let a group of potential buyers into your house. They find excuses to split up so that you cannot be with them, while they are pretending to be interested in the property. Do not let them in, even if an Estate Agent has made an appointment, unless you have other people with you and can be sure of accompanying them into every room. Sometimes they do purchase properties as in Fleetwood Road, and Banks where there is sufficient space for a number of cars and a caravan, and the houses are pretty isolated for their nocturnal activities - but town houses are of no interest to them.

Whether you agree or disagree with the transient lifestyle these people have on occasion Kew P&R for example they're pretty much out of the way, but to plonk yourself slap bang in the middle of public playing fields in just inciting trouble. There's a lot of comments on the legalities around how they access the land they occupy, as far as I'm aware there are no public access gates on to Meols Cop playing fields except pedestrian access so they must have contravened some bylaw or other so why can't an injunction be served for them to be removed.

Don't suppose the empty post box on the Promenade has anything to do with them either, does it?
The day after the parking meters were broke into on the plaza, I found a driving licence on Liverpool Road. The licence must have dropped out of someone's pocket, possibly as they took a taxi - it was found near a pub. The license was found to belong to a traveller, who lived in a house in Northern Ireland, and who worked part time at a local supermarket. He was on his way home via Liverpool after two days in the UK, possibly a little worse for wear. It could have just been a coincidence.

Couldn't care less about the transient lifestyle - I just don't like the high rate of coincidences that occur when they arrive in the area!

A poster on a local site suggested very logically, that the law should be changed so that all open land, private or public should have a protection court order placed upon it lasting for a long period so that anyone moving onto the land to camp could be moved on immediately or face having their goods confiscated. That would put an immediate end to all this 'above the law' nonsense.
