Church lane travellers

Have reported the untaxed travellers van parked on church lane near police hq. There are 3 or 4 of them living on the road all with woodburners. Why are they allowed to do this? Do they pay council tax?

Thank you Honst - my staff have noted them because they take up our parking places. The problem is we have no addresses for the DVLA to send the letters to. By the way did you work for the NKVD ?

As council tax is based on the notional value of the property you live in, it's pretty self-evident that people living in vans don't pay it.
And where would they send the bill? Imagine the work involved in billing everyone who stayed overnight in a motorhome in the district!

Are they causing any harm, other than living where you don't want them to live? Today I was in Brighton and saw plenty of people sleeping on the pavement. I doubt they are paying council tax for the privilege either.

I'm glad these people at least have a roof over their heads. Would you rather they freeze to death without one?

Where do they go for a number two?
By the way, how do you know they're un-taxed � when tax discs have been abolished?

I will be ringing everyone at the council till this gets sorted. It stinks every time I go past it. Just ringing the travellers number ain't enough also ring environmental people as well. Bit of a piss take now they've been there long enough.

it's a piss leave - that's why it smells. No need for it really, they could P in an empty 6 pint milk container then empty it into a road gulley @ night. Dunno about #2 's maybe they go to Cliffe carpark bogs.
