A group of us went to talk with their "leader" last night, they told us they are here for a wedding and then planning on going back to Ireland on Saturday. Later they then informed us and the council they will be gone on Thursday. We told them that if they abide by two rules "stay on that half of the field and stay true to your word and leave on thursday" then everyone will get on nicely.The Daddy wrote:My folks’ house backed onto playing fields. When some travelers moved in all our fish in the fish pond mysteriously died. There were no other major issues that I can remember, they didn’t stay long. You could always try making friends with them! They’re probably mostly nice people.

The police have been to visit and I've had a call from the local council who told us they are taking matters to the courts and that the travellers have also told them of their intentions to leave on thursday so hopefully this will all work out. In the meantime all the neighbours have agreed a neighbourhood watch, we've all locked up everything that isnt bolted down outside in our garages and everyones cars are parked right up against the garage doors to make them impossible to open.My folks’ house backed onto playing fields.

Our house opens up onto the field and has always been beautiful and a safe place to play outside with the kids, the field is used by all the local kids football clubs and is always in immaculate condition.
Now when I open my curtains all I can see is a traveller camp.
I'm so annoyed, so frustrated and also scared for the safety of my kids and my house.

I'm not arsed about racism on this matter when every traveller I've personally met has been a complete cunt.
