Anger as travellers at pub site
Wednesday 27th May 2009, 5:49AM BST.
Travellers have sparked uproar by relocating to the site of a derelict pub in Wolverhampton – just days after moving from a nearby industrial estate.
Five caravans and two lorries have arrived on the car park of the Paget Arms in Park Lane, Bushbury, after abandoning a camp on Showell Road.
Mary Brooker, aged 82, of Guy Avenue, said today: “They are nuisance. If I did that, I’d get into trouble.”
Because the travellers are on private land, they have trespassed and the owner has the right to take them to court to secure eviction.

Bilston Wolf & Mark Phillips – your both hitting the nail on the head. Away with these types of people. Its time the local authority did something about them.

They are a menace to society and should be dealt with severely. They have no respect for the laws of this country and therefore have no respect for England, sponging of it like a parasitic Leech.

I totally agree with all of the comments shown. Unfortunately they get away with it becuase they hide behind their “Human Rights” – smart arse lawyers and Inept Politians who cannot stand up to them are at Fault. But what about our Human Rights also – don’t we deserve to live in a civilised society. These people are scum and they get away with it every time
