Huge Traveller fleet has set up camp outside our homes…they leave rubbish everywhere & want to buy my dog for £250
It's the fifth time this year a traveller group has taken over the same park CARAVAN CHAOS Huge Traveller fleet has set up camp outside our homes…they leave rubbish everywhere & want to buy my dog for £250 Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A HUGE traveller fleet has set up camp outside taxpayers' homes, leaving "stinking" piles of rubbish scattered around a much-loved park, locals claim. Dozens of caravans and other vehicles arrived at Swanshurst Park on the border of Moseley, Birmingham, last Sunday (July 20). Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 8 A fleet of traveller caravans arrived at Swanshurst Park last Sunday Credit: SWNS 8 Rubbish is seen strewn across a patch of grass in the camp Credit: SWNS 8 Sandra Cotterill is annoyed the council clears the rubbish but won't collect taxpayers' bins Credit: SWNS It's the fifth such incursion at the same spot this year - and angry residents say this one is the biggest yet. People say they're annoyed the council regularly clears away the group's rubbish with the city in the midst of a months-long bin collection strike. One resident claims a traveller keeps trying to buy his designer French bulldog for £250. The Friends of Swanshurst Park Facebook group says the travellers gained access by moving a large log and driving in past bike racks. Mum-of-two Rabai Tahir, who lives opposite the park, moved to the UK from Dubai with her husband five years ago and is 'astonished' travellers are allowed to keep coming back. They leave lots of rubbish bags and some of it stinks. It's cleaned up by my council tax money. I don't allow my kids to go over to the play park when they're there. We don't know who they are. Rabai Tahir 'They leave lots of rubbish bags and some of it stinks,' she told The Sun. 'It's cleaned up by my council tax money. "I don't allow my kids to go over to the play park when they're there. We don't know who they are. 'It's shocking for me and my husband that people can stay here for weeks. It's a community park.' Sandra Cotterill has lived opposite the park for 19 years. She said: 'I've had no trouble with them, they never bother me. Some people don't want to take their kids and dogs there." However, she is annoyed that the local authority makes such an effort to clear the group's rubbish when thousands in the city have seen their own rubbish pile up for months. Inside Birmingham's bin wars as strikes see streets overrun with RATS and piles of rotting food and rubbish are left to fester Sandra said: 'They bag up all the rubbish and the council cleans it all away. "We're paying our taxes, and we can't get our bin bags picked up, but they get theirs taken.' Birmingham has been hit by long-running bin strikes. Piles of rubbish have been seen in parts of the city since bin collection workers walked out in January. Sandra's neighbour, who has lived in the area for 40 years and walks her dogs in the park, said residents are getting fed up with different traveller groups constantly coming and going. The woman, who did not want to be named, said: 'They clear them off and a week later another different group comes here. "I keep away from them, they take over the park really. We're all just fed up. 'Travellers move the logs. We need a permanent solution to stop them coming onto the park. "The amount of money the council must spend tidying up is ridiculous.' Another man who, who says he's been offered money for his pet, added: 'They're all right, they're not bad people and I've got Irish in my family. 2025 Birmingham bin strike The Birmingham bin strike is an ongoing stand off between refuse workers and Birmingham City Council over pay and the removal of roles. It started in January 2025 and full scale industrial action was then taken from March 11, involving members of Unite union. The same month, the local authority declared a major incident after 17,000 tonnes of rubbish were left uncollected on the city's streets. In April, the government was forced to call in Army specialists to provide logistical support. This month, Unite said it would review its relationship with the Labour Party after the government expressed support for the council amid the strike. According to reports, lower income areas, including Sparkhill, Balsall Heath, Small Heath, Sparkbrook and Ladywood have suffered the greatest compared to more affluent suburbs like Harborne and Edgbaston. On Friday (July 25), a second megapicket co-ordinated by Strike Map started across several parts of Birmingham, involving 26 organisations from across the trade union movement, in support of the striking workers. Former Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn urged Birmingham City Council to 'get a deal now' as more piles of rubbish were left uncollected. 'I don't like the mess though and my kids can't use the park when they're around.' One resident, a new mum, added: 'They make a mess, but it doesn't bother me. A lot of people here don't like it because the park is for children and it restricts them from using it.' This week the admin of the volunteer-run Swanshurst Park Facebook group posted: 'Spent another couple of hours clearing up litter round the Park. "I'm fairly sure that some of it was nothing to do with the Travellers and had been dropped last night by other people traversing the Park. 'Had some good interactions with some of the women who thanked me for my efforts and assured they would bag up their rubbish. "We will see but I am sure it will be better than on previous occasions. "Some of the children wanted to help me and I am sure this must be the way forward to get a dialogue going.' A council spokesperson said: "Birmingham City Council is committed to actively protecting its land and will take steps to recover this land where unauthorised encampments encroach upon it. "The council has useable transit sites and plots for use by the Gypsy, Roma and Traveller community – which is in line with Government policy – and details of the Gypsy and Traveller Accommodation Assessment carried out and updated in 2019 can be found on our website." 8 Some locals are worried about letting their kids use the playpark, which sits next to the camp Credit: SWNS 8 It's the fifth time travellers have taken over the park this year Credit: SWNS 8 Children from the camp in the park this week Credit: SWNS 8 Dozens of caravans are currently parked up Credit: SWNS

At least 18 killed and 48 injured as double-decker bus plunges into 164ft ravine after veering off winding road
The wreckage shows how the bus split in two after landing on its side BUS TRAGEDY At least 18 killed and 48 injured as double-decker bus plunges into 164ft ravine after veering off winding road Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) AT LEAST 18 people have died after a double-decker bus plunged 164ft into a ravine. A desperate rescue mission has been launched in Peru after the horror crash which left another 48 injured. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 At least 18 people have died after a double-decker bus plunged 164ft into a ravine Credit: EPA 3 Accidents are common in Peru due to speeding, poor road surfaces, and a lack of road signs Credit: News Group Newspapers Ltd The packed bus was traveling from Lima to Peru's Amazon region when it overturned on a highway in Hunin near to the Andes Mountains. The driver is believed to have veered off the winding road before the bus plummeted down the ravine, authorities said on Friday. Officials said 15 of the 60 passengers onboard were found dead at the scene. Three more victims then died after being rushed to hospital. Two children are among the dead, a spokesperson for health services of the central city of Tarma said. The double-decker belonged to the company Expreso Molina Lder Internacional. Authorities are still investigating the exact cause of the accident. Wreckage pictures show how the bus split in two after landing on its side with shattered glass and snapped window frames spread across the crash site. Peru has a dark history of deadly bus crashes. Back in January, another bus fell into a river - leaving six people dead and 32 injured. At least 40 killed as two buses crash and burst into flames – leaving terrified passengers trapped inside vehicles In September of last year, dozens of tourists were injured after a bus carrying them back from Machu Picchu plunged down a steep bank. The bus fell 50 feet after the driver lost control of the motor while he negotiated the narrow mountain road in the foggy Andes. In 2022, four tourists were killed and another 15 were injured after a minibus plunged 330 feet down a cliff returning from Machu Picchu. Locals said foggy conditions also contributed to that crash. Accidents are common in Peru due to speeding, poor road surfaces, and a lack of road signs. Over 3,170 people died in road accidents in the country in 2024, according to Peruvian police data.

On Universal Credit? How you can save £100s on your summer phone bill
Check below to see if you can save TO YOUR BENEFIT On Universal Credit? How you can save £100s on your summer phone bill Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) HEADING off for some summer sun should be a relaxing break, not a source of bill-shock. But with many major mobile networks reintroducing expensive daily roaming charges for using your phone in Europe, the cost of a simple holiday can quickly spiral. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 If you're receiving Universal Credit or other benefits, you could be eligible for a special 'social tariff' Credit: Getty For a family of four, a two-week trip could add £100s in roaming fees alone. However, a little-known secret could save you a fortune. If you're receiving Universal Credit or other benefits, you could be eligible for a special 'social tariff' on your mobile plan, slashing your monthly costs and letting you use your phone abroad for free. These 'social' or 'essential' tariffs offer the same service as regular packages but at a significantly lower price. They typically come with no long-term contracts, a guarantee of no mid-contract price hikes, and two of the three providers even include free roaming in Europe. For example, O2's Essential Plan costs just £10 a month and gives you 10GB of data with unlimited calls and texts. Crucially, you can use up to 10GB of that data in the EU at no extra cost. The plan is a flexible 30-day deal, with no upfront costs or price rises. Meanwhile, SMARTY's Social Tariff provides unlimited data, calls, and texts for £12 a month. For holidaymakers, it includes EU roaming with a generous 12GB data cap. Easy ways to slash your mobile bill Like O2's offer, it's a flexible one-month plan with no annual price rises. Choosing one of these tariffs means you can avoid the daily roaming charges now levied by most major networks since Brexit. Many providers, including EE, Three, and Vodafone, may charge around £2 to £2.57 per day to use your UK allowance in Europe. That could add up to £35 to your bill for a two-week holiday. Providers like EE and Voxi also offer social tariffs, but be aware that their roaming policies may include extra charges. To apply, simply contact your chosen provider. They will ask for some basic information and carry out a quick, confidential check with the Department for Work and Pensions to confirm your eligibility before setting up your plan. The regulator, Ofcom, provides a comprehensive list of all the available social tariffs on its website. Before switching mobile plans, check if you're still in contract to avoid high exit fees. Over 33million people are out of contract, according to Uswitch, so it's worth checking if you can upgrade or switch to avoid paying more than necessary. To check your contract status, text "INFO" followed by your date of birth (DDMMYY) to 85075. You'll get a text confirming if you'd need to pay an early termination fee. These fees only apply if you're still in contract. If no fee is mentioned, you're likely out of contract and free to switch.
