Residents of a picturesque village near Glastonbury are facing a growing crisis as forty illegal caravans have taken over their country lanes, turning the area into what locals describe as a 'caravan slum'. The encampments have left the village surrounded by piles of rubbish, causing outrage among the community.
Local Outrage
Villagers have expressed their frustration at the situation, with many claiming their peaceful way of life has been disrupted. 'It's like living in a dumping ground,' one resident lamented. 'The rubbish is everywhere, and no one seems to be doing anything about it.'
Authorities Under Fire
Local authorities have come under fire for their perceived inaction. Despite numerous complaints, the caravans remain, and the rubbish continues to pile up. 'We pay our taxes and expect the council to keep our village clean and safe,' said another resident. 'This is unacceptable.'
Environmental Concerns
Beyond the aesthetic and social issues, there are growing concerns about the environmental impact. The rubbish left behind includes everything from household waste to broken furniture, posing a potential hazard to wildlife and local ecosystems.
What's Next?
With tensions rising, villagers are calling for immediate action. 'We need the council to step in and clear this mess,' said a local business owner. 'Our village is being ruined, and we can't just stand by and watch.'
