Gypsy camp legal threat - Staffordshire

CAMPAIGNERS have threatened to take a council to court over controversial plans to build a Gypsy camp.

More than 7,000 residents have signed a petition against the proposed 12-pitch site being built in the countryside off Parkers Road and Kent Lane, in Coppenhall, near Crewe.

But campaigners say the site is unsuitable because of its size and location, cultural differences and lack of school places.

Speaking at yesterday's full meeting of Cheshire East Council, Glen Perris, chairman of Crewe Against Traveller Sites, said: "You have picked a fight with the wrong people and, if necessary, we will see you in court."
