Inspector Stephen Curry says of the ground at Braypool that it is unacceptable to leave a cricket pitch covered in human excrement, rubble and scrap (The Argus, May 18).

Perhaps he would like to tell us where in his opinion it is acceptable, because personally I find it disgusting anywhere, not just on a cricket pitch.

How travellers can be interviewed and tell us what excellent housekeepers they are and how lovely and spotless their caravans are and then leave places in such a disgusting state is beyond me.

They want to be treated like members of society yet behave in ways not even animals would.

They all have pickups, lorries and vans, so there is absolutely no excuse for leaving such mess behind.

They could do the same as anyone else and take it to the local tip - and if they have to pay, so what? So does the rest of the community.

It's not as if they are short of a bob or two. They all have the newest cars. If they want to be accepted as part of the community, they have to accept the responsibilities and ways the rest of us live by.
