I have been told that this will be done promptly, but nothing has been done. I confronted the owner of the caravan and he told me that I should contact the police because he will not move it. I did not want to have to talk with him and make relations difficult with my neighbor, and it has shown to provide me with no solution anyway. I appreciate our police very much, but this small matter has been neglected and makes me worry that our police system is not as effective as I had thought. •Keep on doing what you're doing!
