If the travellers can do this why can't we?

The travellers invaded part of Cambourne over the Christmas period. The area along the St Neots Road borders the parishes of Cambourne and Bourn.

SCDC has a number of signs up in this small area. This is what they say:

A maximum of £50,000 and/or 6 months in prison. The SCDC logo is in the upper right hand corner. When the travellers left did they clear the site they had been occupying? No is the simple answer.

Looks pretty clear apart from the orange gas canister. Looking more closely.....

A couple of more small blue gas canisters.

Over the fence was various dumped items.

Various items strewn across this area.

A pallet.

A broken shovel.

Black bags dumped so SCDC can come round and collect. 

A better collection than for permanent residents.

As the sign said the area is "subject to surveillance". Obviously this surveillance didn't include all this tipping, dumping and littering. 

Ron says: If I was to litter and dump all this on the side of the road I would be properly prosecuted and fined. Yet it is one rule for the travellers, who don't pay council tax and another for the residents of SCDC.
