MP backs villagers against illegal travellers site

Selby and Ainsty MP, Nigel Adams has written to Selby District Council saying that a traveller site which was set up illegally should not be given three years temporary approval.

Villagers report problems of large dogs being allowed to run loose, noise from the site and heavy vehicles bringing scrap metal to and from the site on the edge of the village.

The site was set up illegally five or so years ago and is simply unacceptable that anybody who breaks the law in this way should be given permission to continue living on the site for another three years. Selby District Council need to take decicive action and draw a line under the situation as soon as possible.
