Hard-up Langporters swamp Huish refugee centres
Crippling council tax bills have been landing on door mats and once again - Langport's bills are higher than those for Huish because Langport has a small population which has to pay for all the in-town facilities and so hundreds of stricken families are out of pocket.
Just like last time, it's triggered mass migration into Huish with the UN refugee centres at Courtfield and Eli's cricket field already full. It's reported nine hundred men tried to use the Rose & Crown's toilets on Tuesday triggering Landlord Steve Pittard to buy toilet roll for the first time since 1978. (But there was still no soap) Last night a Langport couple fleeing Moor Park Road were arrested while trying to get a fridge-freezer up Station Path and at midnight a Bow Street family were spotted pushing a washing machine across Langport Rec. The border at the Hanging Chapel was closed at 3 o'clock this morning, There are no further details at the moment.
Huish Parish Council Chair Shirley Nicholas was woken at 2am to be told what was happening.
