Travellers move into Formby
Village!
FOR the very 1st time that we know of, a group of
travellers, reported to be from Ireland, have set up camp in Formby's only free
car park, taking up many car park spaces. 2 local businesses, who do not want to
be named, have told us:- "This is all we need. Our businesses are being
pushed to the brink by ever falling trade and now this. They are taking around
10 spaces, if not more. Ok, they have to go somewhere, but the area already has
a site for them." Another added:- "The Village is, as many know,
at breaking point, thanks to lack of free parking facilities. Already elderly
people find it hard to park in the area and this is not helping. That car park
has already lost spaces due to building work, now this! We hope they are not
going to be a regular feature, as our Village just can't take it!"
Others have questioned why they have taken up so many spaces and
some have also questioned if they will be fined. We have put a request in to
Sefton MBC for more information on this and Chris Owen, from Sefton Council's
Corporate Communications has said that:- "We are unaware of it in this
office. If we do get any information we will issue it, as normal, via our
Council website. We will allow you then to copy it from our website, should we
issue any statement." What are your views on this? Please email us your
