Sorry ladies, I've just noticed a typo above.

The Department of Communities and Local Government has set regional planners the target of coming up with sites for an extra 4,000 pitches!!

(not 40 as stated above!!)

Issi, what a good idea! Perhaps Gordon Brown should try this idea out first!

Bluebella, yes funny that JP didn't want them in his back yard isn't it?

MollyMandy, this isn't about generalisations and prejudice!! It's about hardworking, law abiding people being forced to sell their land at knock down prices!! As for a 'minority group' don't forget that this is a lifestyle that they have chosen, it has NOT been forced upon them!!
