At the risk of being politically incorrect, do we in Dorset wish to encourage another 3,000, possibly double that figure, travellers to the county.

Chief Insp Nick Maton appears to welcome the plan stating Operation Elder was a great success, reducing the number of illegal encampments from 17 to 11.

If, as he stated, we have 11 illegal sites in Dorset, what is he doing about it – surely the police are paid to uphold the laws of this country?

Dorset appears to be in the forefront in implicating an act of the last Government, which had a policy of uncontrolled immigration that has brought this country to its knees.

Our hospitals, schools, social services and benefits systems are abused at the expense of hard-working tax payers – our inner-city students are made to pay £9,000 because our national income is wasted on wars which we should not be involved in.

The council in Essex has spent £18million at Dale Farm trying to evict illegal travellers, mostly from the EU. Do we really wish to risk this in Dorset? I think not.

Planning officer Lynda King states there will be water, electricity and sanitation provided in these 12 sites in West Dorset. Where is the money coming from to pay for these services – the council tax payer?

Could the people of Dorset be told how much money has been collected in Dorset from the legal sites in Dorset from travellers and how much has been spent on cleaning up sites.

The proposed money being spent on providing these sites should be spent on providing affordable housing for our hard-working young people.

I am fed up like millions of people in this country how our politicians and councillors always put EU law first instead of looking after the British people first.
