HAVING read in last Friday’s Observer (July 27), Laura Button’s report on gypsies and RDC’s efforts to accommodate them, and having then discussed this problem with a number of friends, it seems to us that it would be a good idea if a member of the council would answer a number of questions which were raised (examples listed below), and which we suspect perplex a number of local residents.

1. What right have they to occupy private land without the owners permission?

2. From where, and how, do they obtain supplies of gas, electricity and water?

3. What arrangements are made for sanitation, and by whom?
