Travellers Don’t Belong in Solihull Parks

Posted by Paul Fairburn | Updated 2015-08-10

Read Lib Dem Councillor Martin Hewing’s Letter to the Press about the recent occupation of public parks by travellers.

Councillor Martin Hewings

Dear Sir,

Many residents have been concerned at the recent occupation of our parks by travellers and the cost and difficulties it creates for our local councils. An MEP is organising a petition to request Government to make it illegal for travellers to occupy parks and thus, enable our Police to enforce any occupation as a crime. If you feel strongly about this issue, please see the petition at the link below and consider signing.

Thanks
