Travellers moving on

At the end of last week, I was walking with Islay across the car park when I noticed two Council lorries parked at the entrance, almost blocking it. I didn't think anything of it at the time. Now I find, from the Brecon and Radnor, that they were actually there in case travellers who were moving on from Talgarth car park came this way and tried to set up in Hay.
There's been a bit of trouble about the travellers in Talgarth. One B&B owner refused to pay his Council Tax because he said he was losing business - prospective holidaymakers were taking one look at the travellers' camp and deciding to stay elsewhere. Now the travellers have gone elsewhere.
It may be that the Council needs to think about providing a permanent site in the area for travellers - which is a decision always fraught with difficulty because no-one wants it to be near them. When I lived in North Wales, the Council there argued for years about a site for a travellers' camp - one of the last places they looked at was a disused quarry in the middle of nowhere, and one of the councillors even protested about that. "They can't stay there," the rumours had him saying. "There's no proper water supply - and besides, it's haunted!"
