Protest Action Outside Solihull Council Offices at 1pm today
Despite the the strongest level of Refusal by the Secretary of State following the Appeal by Travellers over the illegal Gypsy Site at Eaves Green Lane in Meriden Solihull Council have taken NO ACTION to ENFORCE this decision and the resident Travellers are taking a line similar to that at Dale Farm to STAY PUT while Council Officials sit on their hands.
Residents are calling for our Council to take action and are making a formal protest outside Solihull Council Offices Today at 1.00pm Calling for "Action Now"
Any members or supporters Free to do so can support this legitimate protest action simply by turning up and calling for our Council to carry out its legal duties to take action under the planning enforcement powers it has following the extended Public Inquiry that has now dealt with all the outstanding issues and given the Travellers every opportunity to present their case within the law.
We are not calling for these Travellers who have been ensconced for 20 months already to be evicted immediately but that action is set in train for them to be moved off in a reasonable time frame early in the New Year.
Failure to act promptly will lead to costly and extended litigation and confrontation that will bring no credit to our local authority and the costs will be picked up by Solihull's long suffering Council Taxpayers.
Tuesday is also the Full Council Meeting held in public and Starting at 5.30pm in the Council Chamber at the Civic Suite.
