I AM wondering if the council are going 'soft' with regards to travellers/gypsies.

These people were opposite Morrisons until recently. They then moved to the back of Parr baths and have recently been spotted on the playing fields of St Cuthbert's School in Berrys Lane.

When are the council going to get their act together and get rid of this unruly element which keeps rearing its ugly head time and again in the Sutton and Parr area? These people are a burden on society and should not be tolerated. The majority of them are moonlighting.

They should be given the order of the boot and told 'don't come back.' We don't want this element of people - anywhere - confiscate their allowance books. It isn't fair.

Disgruntled, Sutton (full name and address supplied).
