THANK goodness the gypsies have packed their bags and hit the road.

It seems they have left both Winsford and Middlewich in person but their rubbish still remains - cluttering fields and land where their caravans were once pitched.

Now they've gone let's hope action is taken to ensure they don't return!

This may mean barricading gates or other desperate measures - but let's face it, if it ensures they don't return it's well worth it.

Perhaps this has been a good lesson to all politicians out there that something has to be done to change the law which allowed them to stay in the first place.

Relieved resident.
