The homeowners, who were among 3,500 respondents to mid-Bedfordshire district council's Gypsy and Traveller Consultation, received letters rejecting their contributions on the grounds that their comments were racist.
Lucy Clarke, a retired company secretary from Stotfold, a planned site for one of the camps, said she was shocked to receive the letter.
Mrs Clarke, said: "As far as I am aware I objected to the camp for entirely reasonable grounds. And yet I then get this letter from the council.
"They even accused me of incitement to racial hatred," she told The Daily Mail. "It's ridiculous - like putting me on a par with Abu Hamza. I am not racist, but I am concerned about what one of these camps could do to our town."
The letter was also sent to the town council, which wrote a response summarising residents' concerns. Brian Collier, the council's chairman, told the newspaper: "We were totally shocked when we then received a letter from the district council saying that was racist."
A spokesman for the council admitted it had been "over-zealous"
He added: "We had no intention of offending those who took the time to respond to the consultation and certainly were not trying to label residents as racist."Yet more 1984 newspeak from the local council.
Look the situation is like this HM Govt or rather the New Labour filth who make up what passes for our government have decided to build camps for these animals.
The consultation process is a whitewash, nothing more it will be going ahead and so they have the counters already worked out for residents complaints. Now they have the perfect excuse as the locals are all paid up members of the Waffen SS according to the council they can now ignore these people and carry on regardless. QED.
After all according to the folk in the council offices pikeys come first and the needs of locals come a poor second.
As for the claim that they had been over-zealous, that is just rubbish. Local authorities hate it, I mean really hate it when the plebs decide to go against policy.
Now at least the residents are not alone as Tessa Jowell has pikeys on her door near enough.
Also lets remember that pikeys are rather sensitive souls, when not robbing houses and fiddling the dole they get offended by Basil Brush(Whats the odds they don't have a tv license either...)

Yet another TORY Council.
Certainly a view of things to come under a Tory government.
Ian its not a problem of tory/labour scum or lib dem. It is however a problem that councils have become removed from the people who pay for them in the first place.
What is needed is a cut of at least 70% through all council services, make them all re-apply for their jobs and the closure off all quangos/green projects etc....
You are not a lone voice. You represent thousands of aging racists who cannot come to terms with a modern multi racial society You also like to hate. It seems the only thing keeping you going.
Making a generalisation like you about Gypsy scum etc is racist because you are applying the description to ALL Gypsies. No point in giving you examples but many Gypsies do pay tax, run their own firms, even join the army. Besides, providing sites is a sure fire way of checking that all bills and taxes are paid. I am sure you have never fiddled your tax/expenses or bought or employed anyone on the side.
Check the Cenotaph on Remembrance Sunday for the wreath to the British Gypsy dead in two world wars. Of course they are just scum to you and to those who used racist generalisations to object to a Gypsy Camp. Fair comment is no problem but racist abuse like you prefer just causes more trouble instead of solving the problem.
Before you and your (BNP?) mates start screaming abuse at me, get the target right. I am 63 year old painter and decorator from South London. I have no Gypsy relations or friends. I dont belong to a political party but sure as hell would never go near one that you are associated with. You breath violence and hatred. I prefer trying to leave the world a better place not worse.
Blah blah blah, unionworker pikeys don't pay their bills or tax their cars, just take take take, so like them just fuck off.
