Whenever these encampments turn up, people should take their registrations from the roadside and post them on the Internet so that members of the public and the authorities can be better prepared. It would also make it easier to do checks - wait until you see my next report, above.
Apologies if this confuses some people. I'm just trying to highlight the double standards at play here. What I propose is, any future 'related' registrations will be ideally posted as a single high-resolution image, each with their respective link underneath.
What is clear here however, is the alarming number of vehicles that have turned up suspect - and this just from a random search using public-domain information. WHY the hell are they being allowed to get away with this?
Update. The following powers ONLY apply to council land - they will do next to nothing to stop situations like the one shown. If anything they will cause them to increase.
Quote 'The ruling mean camps can now be moved on from council-owned land through appointed bailiffs – without the need of an eviction notice from the courts.' So WHAT about people like this honest man, people just trying to earn a living and live in peace? Don't you even care about them?
Well so far we've had 4 registrations posted all reportedly emenating to traveller encampments.
1. UHZ 4064
2. LN66 HWT
3. NA08EOS = No insurance?
4. ND09YBX = no Car Tax
5. Unknown Audi = no Car Tax or insurance (only traced due to a hit-and-run incident)
So that's 5 vehicles from illegal encampments, three of which are coming up suspect. 3 out of 5.
..and you wonder why decent, law-abiding citizens get angry?
Oh, aren't they on a roll.. here's yet ANOTHER report regarding this lot. How many is this now? How many times are they going to keep taking the piss and costing the tax-payer £MILLIONS? I hope DNA has been found on the horrendous levels of illegal rubbish they reportedly leave in their wake, because by the looks of things it won't be that hard to match.
February 27, 2017. 'Anger as travellers force youngsters to miss lessons as they refuse to leave school'
I'm gonna round up these pics after and do a collage so you can clearly see the pattern emerging. It is my opinion this may be the same lot responsible for causing problems elsewhere, including reports of fly-tipping, and threatening behaviour.
Look at the pictures taken in Tipton.. in particular the one of the caravan having it's marching orders and being towed away by what looks like a silery-white van. Well, here's YET ANOTHER picture from a recent incident involving travelers - look at the type of caravan in the picture, and the van near it. VERY similar to the one you just saw in Tipton..
February 23, 2017. 'Travellers set up camp on Willenhall car park'
Oh well what do ya know.. we just couldn't go a few days without hearing about the problems this lot are creating. And aww..what do we have here..haven't we seen these vans somewhere before?(!)

Illegal traveler encampments have been causing more and more problems in Sandwell recently, despite new (limited) powers to deal with them swiftly.
As such there are multiple reports in the local paper, but if you look at the pictures you can clearly see similarities. For instance the van being towed away here, the same type of van keeps re-appearing whenever they turn up and cause problems. For example:

'Revealed: West Midlands traveler camps cost taxpayers £1 million per year'. Look at the one on the bottom-left of the picture. More pics to come.
For the uninitiated, I'm referring to the following two negatives:
. Chavs
. Encampment cells
Both are seen by many as a complete and utter blight on the community. So, put these two groups together = let them wipe themselves out of Tipton = positive outcome for the law-abiding majority.
In fact why don't you stay on 'The Cracker' then you can effectively help create a positive from two negatives. Local people know what I'm talking about..
"[Redacted] had initially accepted the travellers’ offer of moving on today – but wanted to access the site and store some of his work vehicles.
"In response, a traveller, who did not want to be named, said: “If you put your trailers on there, there’s no guarantee that the kids won’t slash the tyres and I can’t be held responsible so I’d suggest keeping them out until we’re gone."
They gonna slash the tyres on your caravans as well, then, or is it simply a case a of tyres mysteriously and suddenly getting slashed on the land on which you're presently trespassing?
