BUSINESSES on Carlton industrial estate are even more determined to fight against proposals for a gypsy camp after the mess left behind by the most recent unauthorised travellers who set up camp on the site.
Shocking footage seen by the Chronicle shows a man defecating on the pavement behind a lamp post. It was filmed during the most recent unauthorised camp by one tenant from the industrial estate who didn't want to be named.
Barnsley Council has proposed a permanent gypsy and traveller site that would run from the field to the west of Fish Dam roundabout up to Woodmoor Street. The council says it must provide authorised sites to give it more authority to move people on when they set up unauthorised camps.
But businesses on the nearby Carlton industrial estate are apprehensive about the plans with some even suggesting they would want to leave the estate if the plans went ahead.
