i'm sure there are better ways to waste £97m of peoples hard earned, unlike those 'spongers'. I guess its not a drop in the ocean though to what is wasted on other 'free loaders'

hundreds of Gypsy sites being built all over the place, you are joking me!!!
at least they will have to pay rates and taxes for once in their lives....

"Tonight the Tories pledged to abolish Government targets for providing 7,500 additional spaces to gipsies and travellers.

Shadow Communities Secretary Eric Pickles blamed 'political correctness' for the proposed explosion in the number of official traveller camps.

'Communities across the country are going to face the bombshell of having a traveller camp dumped on their backyard, whether they like it or not,' he said.

'Councils are powerless to resist these regional targets, and are being bullied into building on the Green Belt or using compulsory purchase powers to provide the land for travellers.

'It's not fair that hard-working families have to save up to get onto the housing ladder, while travellers get special treatment at taxpayers' expense.'"
