Patrick Doran told villagers the family would move out – on the condition that locals bought the land from them for £600,000.

He posted letters through the doors of the 22 households warning them he would sell the land to another member of the traveller community if they failed to stump up the cash.

Mental if they get away with it

Lawrence Doran has told residents he would be happy to leave Astley Burf if they bought the land back for around £100,000.

Villagers have set up a crowdfunding site, which has so far received pledges of more than half that sum and a chartered surveyor, David Banks, has been appointed to act as land agent on behalf of locals to try to reach a settlement with the Dorans.

A villager said: 'If the Dorans stay, they'll wipe £100,000 in value off a £500,000 property here, so we've got no option but to give in to what amounts to blackmail. They've got us over a barrel and they know it.'

Sounds like Denzel Washingtons character from the Equilzer would have a field day with this.

Discriminated: Patrick Doran claimed they were being treated differently because they are from the travelling community

They were being treated differently because they are scumbags.
The race card have been pulled so often it's lost all meaning, and good is it too.

The rest of the community should Hot Fuzz them.

You have to hand it to them for originality. Always coming up with new and different ways to scam people. Isn't this borderline extortion?

Good luck with that. You don't take on travellers, it's not a winnable battle.

I find it's often settled people or sometimes the Amish that blackmail travelers

A few tanks of slurry in the middle of the night on a regular basis is all that’s needed.

If the halting sites here are anything to go by, they are more than happy to live in filth.

I'm not sure he would, he went through hell. There were no winners in that scenario.

Was done to a gang of them near where I live too. Very effective. The boulder they moved to access the place was moved back and sh1te sprayed everywhere. Gone within a few days.
