ALERT - 19th May 2010

This is a message from North Yorkshire Police.

We are beginning to see an increase in travellers arriving across the district as they migrate towards the Appleby Fair. We will as a result experience problems with some travellers who camp inappropriately and those who carry out doorstep business such as tree cutting, driveways or scrap collecting.

If you do not wish to experience travellers camping on your land or land near you now is the time to ensure you take action. Ensure all gates are locked and if possible blocked. Using loose material such as soil or chippings are more effective that blocks or large obstacles. Muck spreading on vulnerable land is also effective.

If however you would like to offer land to travellers passing through the area please let us know and we will pass this onto the liaison officer.

Lastly please do not accept business on your doorstep whether this is new driveways, roofing work or tree cutting. Trading Standards would be willing to help anyone having difficulty with tradesmen of this type and you can call them on Consumer Direct number 08454 040506 and they will come out to you whilst the tradesmen are present.
