Why would the residents pay to clean this up? its down to the land owner and the council can enforce this or clean it up and charge the land owner for the privilege

Where has all that rubbish come from? I guess they are just charging people to take rubbish away but then just dumping it in that field.

They're just misunderstood remember.

They're clearly scum but the locals need to take ownership of the fact that they were paying unlicensed people, probably in cash to take their st away. If any of it is traceable the council can fine the original owner of the crap I believe.

Near where a family member lives, in a small village, travellers dumped a load of rubbish, completely blocking a single-track lane, so it had to be cleared fairly quickly. Sure enough it contained postal items from the house where they had got it from and guess who got the flak for it.

In another infestation near me, the local council closed the field and all nearby amenities whilst the visitors were there. After they went, some public-spirited locals went to try and help with the clear-up but were publicly advised by the council to seek medical help due to what the council discovered they had been exposed to.

We had 5 or 6 rock up on a local park pretty much in the town centre a couple of weeks ago. My missus works at a charity, not profit community garden centre on the park and they ended up getting a security firm to do night visits as they had threatened workers at the council parks depot next door that they would be nicking their diesel and plant equipment. They were evicted after 5 days, but were there over a whole weekend and the park which is usually packed with families was empty the whole time. They were still finding human sh!t in the flowerbeds last week from them.

Direct action from local residents did the trick here, the travellers had the brass neck to call the police to help them.

Love to know what law wasn't broken by digging the ditch and only leaving 1m pedestrian access... sounds like a plan for everyone .

There's no defending the vermin who fly tip but as a homeowner myself if I need household waste disposed of it's up to me to make sure the person I get to do it is correctly licensed and preferably a reputable local business not some dodgy bloke with a unique accent and two dogs on a string. Sure most would have parted with their cash in good faith but that doesn't excuse their naivety and failure to check the persons credentials.

In your example the person also needs to think a bit more about identity theft too.

250 tonnes is impressive in a fortnight. That's a lot of crap!

There's obviously something very dodgy in waste management circles. I personally think it's not people (builders or home owners) paying them (dodgy dags) directly to clear rubbish etc.

I think there is some kind of organised crime whereby waste management firms pay aresholes like this to take it away and dump it, rather than put it through the proper process. So they take in say 100 tonnes a week from various proper paying parties, and send 60 of it on the correct authorised process, the rest goes out the back door.

What you have described is series 1 of the Sopranos!

2 weeks in Bromley....

Gates were apparently unlocked- can anyone who owns a large area of land still not be aware enough to have it secured from caravan access.

That is a LOT of rubbish
oddly a bunch camped on the A64, going to their usual gypsy convention at Scarborough, left hardly any mess, despite having at least 2 dozen horses with them

In my experience those with horses tend not to be quite the same.

Transits and double wheel caravans = trouble.
Horses and traditional romany vans or small caravans = not too bad.

Transits, double-axle caravans and shiny white german cars always equal massive trouble and desecration. If they are genuine horse and romany vans, practically guaranteed no issues as long as you don't mind being asked whether you want to buy pegs or lavender. In the middle are some caravan-dwelling moving-around people who don't really cause much trouble, but it's difficult to tell them apart until the trouble and desecration has started. It's the first lot who are worthy bearers of the word-which-must-not-be-used.
