SIR: Why is it that the council/police are bending over backwards to make sure that the gypsies invading Bolton are treated with kid gloves?

It is about time the tax-paying and law-abiding people of Bolton were given some protection from these people who come to the town on a far too regular basis .

Treat them with the same respect that they show others - none.

More aggressive policing and some rigorous law enforcement and vehicle checks would certainly help to see these people on their way.

It is just a matter of time before local people decide enough is enough and take matters into their own hands because of the lack of action by the authorities. I am sure, as are many of your readers, that had the gipsies been in a more prosperous area of the town then something would have been done far quicker .

Come on, Bolton Council, get off the fence and sort this out.
