how about:
Signs on the "Calne" town signs (as you enter Calne from Wootton Bassett, Chippenham and Marlborough) on big bill boards saying:
Do you want a gypsies / travellers site in Calne?
Visit calnetalk.com and join the protest
Then have an effective co-ordinated approach, rather than coming on here moaning about it.
Leaflet drop Lansdowne Park and other "affluent" areas and get the middle class wound up. A lot of people have spent a lot of money on houses round here, to get out of the big city rat race mentality, and live "in the country", I am sure they would be all too pleased to help stop these "travellers / gypsies" moving in.
They have probably taken Wootton Bassett off the list cos the people there are "posh" ("we live in 'Bassett' donchaknow") and have french markets and ride horses.
Calne is fantastic and we want to keep it that way.
Get the boards out and start painting / printing.......

I've posted a small article on Calne.org.uk and linked it to the discussion here, hopefully that will bring some more awareness from local people too.

from what i heard they are doing this to strenthen there case for them to get out of minty.
what i want to know is if they build a gypsie site could i go and park a caravan up there all year rent free?????
it would seem the favourite site is oxford road where there is no sewage system and would they provide all of that?
if this does go ahead and i really hope it dosnt the cost of housing in the area will go down,crime will go up.at all off are expence?
and for what

Would it be wise to get a petition over this before the next meeting?
