Say No To Lansdowne Traveller site in Bournemouth Petition: Signature List Feed http://www.gopetition.com/signatures/say-no-to-lansdowne-traveller-site-in-bournemouth.html Online petition signatures en-us Mon, 6 Apr 2026 08:39 UTC GoPetition RSS Feed Generator Copyright 2026 GoPetition Mr Michael Connolly [Signature #64] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/11945085?utm_medium=rss I am totally flabbergasted that this site is actually being considered. The Lansdowne area already has a large amount of homeless, drug and alcohol related problems and to even think of having a traveller site in this location is absolutely ludricous. We all know the problems that come with the travelling fraternity, the mess they create, the antisocial behaviour and crime they commit. This includes the worst type of distraction and fraud type offences against the elderly.

1.Safety of all road users with large vehs entering & exiting this site onto busy road? Are large vehs currently allowed into car park?
2.Health & Safety of gypsy minors on site so close to Wessex Way & Lansdowne Rd. Is there breach of duty of care by local auth in placing them here?
3.Were there any planning restrictions on this site when car park use (or prior) was permitted? Any restriction to staying overnight on H&S grounds -legal precedent- use?

Having said that, I am proud of one local gypsy family who have struck out on their own and are establishing their own code of conduct within the laws of the land.

I'm a hardworking taxpayer – as I'm sure most of the other residents and businesses are – and the council has a duty to safeguard our local area, enabling us to protect the substantial investments we've made in the community.

Apart from the decrease of property values in the community, of which I do have a vested interest in, there would be a rise in crime. The Lansdowne gateway community already has an increased volume of crime due to the location of a high rise probation hostel in the area. I certainly do not want the place of my birth, my home to have a reputation. There are other areas more suited to the traveler community but it's not in Bournemouth.

What planet are these 'consultants' on?? Have they any experience with travellers? I do... Stick them out of town, out of site and away from anything nice because they'll destroy it anyway. Dirty nappies, rubbish, old car parts, tyres, petty theft, taking over bars and more... Not stereotyping, speaking from experience.

Who can possibly think that a travellers site next to a council car park is practical - do they think anyone would be stupid enough to park their car knowing that it will probably be in a dozen pieces by the time they get back.
Dean Park is meant to be a conservation area - this clearly doesn't mean anything these days.
And seriously - 'Welcome to Bournemouth' sign right next to a travellers site - great impression!
