SIR – With reference to John Phillpott’s excellent column (August 16).

There is a legitimate answer to unwanted travellers occupying land, more so if it’s farmland.

The police tell your Worcester News they must consider the impact on travellers if they are moved on. It might be classed as the ‘ultimate deterrent’ but I know as a positive impact, the use of a muck spreader close up in the next field really works.

E W TAYLOR,

Redditch.
