Opinion and readers' letters

Where is the problem at Camp Bling?

REGARDLESS of the merits or otherwise of the widening of Priory Crescent, it is surely time for something to be done about Camp Bling.

This is an occupation of Council land and I fail to see why it would cost £1million to evict them.

This used to be the most picturesque garden in the Borough but has been an eyesore for seven years.

Getting rid of the steel screen should not be a problem as it is only required for legal construction work. Then send in the bailiffs. Demolish the shanty town and restore the site to its former glory.

Where's the problem?
