'No' is the message over more borough traveller sites

MEMBERS of Thurrock Council have repeated a message to the East of England Regional Assembly that they don’t want any more travellers in the borough.

At a full council meeting a motion by councillor Anne Cheale proposed that the council would not accept the establishment of any further traveller sites in Thurrock.

She said: “I believe this is an issue that residents expect us to take a stand on.

“This is not a motion that is anti-traveller. we should take our fair share - and do!”

There was all party support for the motion with BNP councillor Emma Colgate saying: “Travellers sites are not very cohesive for our communities.”
