Dear Sirs

Respecting the need to provide locations within Warwick district for travellers/ Gypsy sites under the national policy framework I am pleased to see that the council is taking this into consideration in the local plan.
Neither do I wish to be a NIMBY and make claim that nothing should be sited near to where I live.

However what has annoyed me significantly about your consultation plan -

Of the 20 sites identified - 15! are in the South / South West Warwick area, and NONE! In Kenilworth... That's not a fair proposal across the Warwick district and raises the question everyone in SWW is asking - where do the district councillors live?


Further, I've just looked at your consultation program and its so heavily biased against the SWW area.
Where do you bring this to those who live by or around the racecourse/ Hampton road??
You've got every part of Leamington and Kenilworth covered, yet there is not one date at which you should have this in either the race course or the girls marching band
Further evidence if needed that the decision has already been made to host the sites in South/SW Warwick!
