I AM incensed to read the council has done another u-turn regarding siting of the gipsies for Seamer Horse Fair in July.
As long as I can remember it got its name, Seamer Horse Fair, because that’s where it originated, not Eastfield.
We had them here last year when they trotted their horse and carts up and down Westway, which is for vehicles not horse-cart racing. Why should we have them on our doorstep?
I have a good site earmarked for them. Why not put them on the new Seamer Road park and ride site? I can’t see anybody else using it when it’s finished.
Until it is, why not put them at the back of the Mere? They can race their horses round the outer Mere Road to their hearts’ content and not get in anybody’s way.
I hope farmer Simpson is going to clear the mess they leave behind himself. If he wants them on his land then let him pick up the bill when they’ve gone.
