The thought of travellers pitching up in Marple sends a shiver down my spine. A couple of years ago they came to Rose Hill train station. It was not a pleasant experience.

I think this is all rather presumtious and there's a danger of stereotyping. When travellers came to the area I used to live, they did my drive for a very reasonable price and I got a good deal on some pegs.

If they come, will Stockport provide a community Loo? cos that would be good for us, if all the other public one's are closed down

if the money from the sale of h/l is going to be used for buxton lane campus there isn't much chance of them selling it to travellers
