00:00 Well I'm pleased to reassure residents that at last the travellers have gone. I know it's been a very difficult 48 hours for local people

00:08 and I know their presence in the town has caused a lot of anger and a lot of upset

00:13 and I can assure you that I share that anger. I'm absolutely furious that our town went into virtual lockdown

00:21 because of these criminals and that's exactly what they are, the criminals.

00:24 They caused disruption throughout the town centre. We had to close the swimming pool, we had to cancel the market

00:32 and that disrupted the lives of our law abiding citizens. So please be rest assured that myself,

00:39 the cabinet and the officers will do everything in our power to bring prosecutions where we can.

00:46 Now I know that many of these travellers don't have fixed addresses so you will appreciate that

00:53 that's difficult for us in a lot of ways but I can promise you that if we can bring prosecutions

00:59 we absolutely will and I'll keep you informed of that as it progresses. But right now I want you

01:05 to come back into Boston, I want you to use the park, the swimming pool, the shops, the wonderful

01:12 shops that we have in the town centre and feel safe in doing so because you are safe.
