Chairman’s Comments Those of you who use the Ashburton Playing fields will know we have been plagued with (sic) Travellers who have left us rate payers to pay to clear up their mess. You will find photographs of this elsewhere in the newsletter. The Council have, I understand, been attempting to get these people out of the Croydon environs by issuing injunctions, to whom I am not sure. However, if anyone has a telephoto lens on their camera and sees anyone dumping rubbish and we can identify an individual (e.g. vehicle registration) we will do our utmost to ensure that person is brought to justice through the court system. It seems our appeal to obtain the services of more road stewards has had a partial success although more are needed to reduce the workload of a few.
