Assembly Member gives backing to campaigners fighting second travellers site in Llansamlet

“LizRPenlan! NO HOMEOWNERS SHOULD BE PUT THROUGH THIS!!!!" Exactly! Anyone with an ounce of common sense, intelligence, morals, and sense of perspective would agree entirely with your words. I would not even wish it on the politically correct dimwits whom come on here defending the travellers and whom wrongfully accuse the justifiably worried and concerned individual(s) of prejudice and racism.

The loss of personal property value(s) of £20,000, £30,000, £40,000+++++ is a lot of money in a minimum to low wage/poor job security area like Swansea. But hey! The bull**** detector in me suggests the very people whom support the travellers and whom on occasions personally attack the victim and future victim(s) of a personal house price fall neither live in a proposed traveller area nor own a house in an area on the proposed shortlist.

Why? Only a complete and utter moron (clinically insane?) of incomprehensible mind blowing lunacy would gladly support a situation and action(s) that would see years of his/her's hard work, self sacrifice, and tens of thousands of pounds of own money go up in flames.”

“Mr Reality agree completely regarding home owners.

Having the prospect of a traveller site near your home which will loose over 30% value and as quoted by a local estate agent "if you are able to sell".

The proposed Milford Way Site is located right next door and this estate will loose over £1 Million Pounds in property value. (This does not include the houses around the site). This issue has to come into the final decision. Is the Council going to compensate all home owners for the loss of property value and will their Council tax be reduced???

As there are many homeowners living in zero equity properties on this estate, some with young children in houses too small for them but they are unable to move as they cannot afford to. Why should homeowners who have worked hard to buy their homes, who pay taxes be penalised by a situation put on them and loose what they have spent years working for. NO HOMEOWNERS SHOULD BE PUT THROUGH THIS!!!!”

“Away from all the hatred and bile has anyone asked the Travellers themselves where is best for them?”

“willEvs! I am originally from Gorseinon and used to live there when the Itinerants inhabited Melin Mynach on previous occasions. I can assure you and previous SWEP reporting can also assure you that negative anti-traveller perception(s) was solely because of the previous publically witnessed and experienced anti-social behavior, dumping of rubble/unused tarmac tonnage, sanitary towels, and defecation of human excreta and urine etc amongst play/walking areas by the then situated 'Irish Travelling community'.

The 100% justifiable negativity is not in anyway prejudice or racism! Tell me will this new travelling grouping be of the rate paying/tax paying, law abiding, and hygienic kind? Can you yourself personally guarantee they will be nothing like their anti-social predecessors?”

“What is this obsession with house price devaluation who said this is fact? populations change in areas all the time where i live and have lived for the last 30 odd years the area has changed beyond recognition from when i bought my property. I have a very multiculural population around me of all races many houses full of students with this the problem of absent landlords who bought the property as an investment for them certanly not me. The choice i had was moove to another area or go with the changes of populations. I chose the second option and am very glad i did i've changed and actually embrased it by getting to know my new neighbours. Swansea is a multicultural city and aren't we a city of sanctuary well if i believe what i read on here not if your a Gypsy Traveller perhaps if you got to know some of the people who hope to live on the new site where ever it is built perhaps you wouldn't be so scared of change.”

“No Swansea resident and house owner no matter what area they live in should be expected to suffer the consequences from the knock-on effect of property devaluation and negative equity an itinerant site would bring.

Interesting to see that Sketty, Langland,Caswell,The Mumbles, and some other noted picture postcard locations are excluded from the travellers site short list?
Saying that I am from Gorseinon and would not want or wish the itinerant 'problem' to be thrust on anyone's doorstep! Why should decent law abiding citizens suffer the consequences of politically correct idiots/decision makers and the itinerant subculture they so love to support? I guess the 'law makers' will not be having them anywhere near their own house(s)? Is the Civic Centre available there's lots of avilable space there?”
