No. These logs are sensible. They also put wooden stakes around a green spot here in Norfolk after travellers used it. They would get a better reputation if they did not litter the places so much.

No, the travelling community have camp site and travellers sites, I live in Bristol and the common a few mins walk always had problems with travellers so the council put earth mounds around it, hey presto, no travellers, we recently had these turn up, they left no mess apart from some horse manure, all the comments were positive.

Yet with all the trouble they cause they still try to play the victim card and there still those who defend them no matter what they do just because they are considered a 'minority', which seems to excuse anything these days.
