Say no to travellers in Shoeburyness
4 Signatures
Published by Tony Cox on Nov 06, 2009
Target: Southend Borough Council
Background (Preamble):
The East of England Regional Assembly have decided that Southend Borough Council should have 15 permanent travellers pitches in the town.

This move is supported by all the political parties on Southend Council. Only the Conservative Party have opposed this measure.
Petition:
We the undersigned, call on the Government, Southend Borough Council and the East of England Regional Assembley to ensure that Shoeburyness will not be forced to have permanent travellers pitches.

We reject the Independent Party candidate for Shoeburyness Ward's view that travellers are an oppressed minority and that travellers sites should be situated on Gunners Park.

We do not agree with the Liberal Democrats that there is a requirement for travellers sites in the town or with Labour that we should have permanent pitches on Shoebury's award winning parks.
