Measures to prevent traveller encampments in Warwick district branded ‘a joke’
A resident is hitting out at the traveller prevention measures installed across the district after travellers continue to access sites. Over the last few weeks there have been a number of unauthorised traveller encampments in Warwick and also in Whitnash.Tony Gooch is now hitting out against Warwick District Council’s measures that have been installed to prevent these encampments.He said: “They spend all this money on trying to secure land from traveller encampments and they recently installed a height barrier at the Myton Fields carpark so that travellers’ caravans couldn’t get in there. Then travellers got on the site again because the height barrier wasn’t in place. “They hadn’t swung it round to lock in place it was just open. It seems ludicrous to spending our money on these measures and then not using what they’ve got.“Even when travellers were down on Antelope Gardens, the bollards were concreted in but it was an absolute … [Read more...] about Measures to prevent traveller encampments in Warwick district branded ‘a joke’
Michigan groups renew fight over Trump travel ban
Mark Hicks The Detroit News Published 10:09 PM EDT Sep 13, 2018 The American Civil Liberties Union of Michigan, advocacy groups and separated families are renewing a legal challenge to President Donald Trump’s executive order barring travelers from some countries with majority Muslim populations. The amended complaint filed Thursday in Detroit’s U.S. District Court argues that the restrictions are unconstitutional and seeks a permanent injunction preventing its enforcement. The suit also claims the measure separates Muslim-Americans from relatives abroad as well as interferes with travel activities of some area nonprofit and business groups. “Our nation was founded on the idea of religious freedom, which is a core constitutional right, said Nishchay Maskay, an attorney representing the plaintiffs in the case. “While the court allowed the ban to continue while it is being challenged, it did so based on preliminary evidence. We look forward to getting … [Read more...] about Michigan groups renew fight over Trump travel ban
Travellers set up camp near Big Brother studio as 21 caravans move into public park and rubbish left in hedge
TRAVELLERS invaded a public park near the Big Brother studios today, setting up 21 caravans and leaving the site covered in rubbish. The local council pounced immediately to evict the group from Ripon Park in Hertfordshire, just one mile from Elstree Studios. Flanked by police bailiffs, council officers marched onto the field with a removal order that issued by St Albans Magistrates Court yesterday. As part of the same operation, officials locked the gates leading to other parts of the popular park. They also parked vehicles in front of entrances to prevent the travellers from moving elsewhere. Photos from the scene showed mounds of rubbish built up in the hedges surrounding the green space. There were 21 caravans and 27 other vehicles on Ripon Park, according to Hertsmere Borough Council. Its chief executive Donald Graham said: "This action shows that we will act robustly within the parameters of the law to ensure our parks can continue to be enjoyed by the public. "We are looking at … [Read more...] about Travellers set up camp near Big Brother studio as 21 caravans move into public park and rubbish left in hedge
