I would like you to record my strongest objection to the proposed location of a gypsy traveller site at the Birmingham Road location (property of Councillor Robert Butler next to the Shell Garage)

This is green belt land and should be preserved as such, the access and exit is on to a major road and would increase traffic hazards, it is very close to a heavily populated urban area, adjacent to a main road and highly visible, and a site of this nature would not be in keeping with the locality and would also attract attention from passing motorists thus again causing traffic problems. Local schools are already over subscribed.
The location at kites nest lane has already been declined and the objections must surely be the same and more, when considering the birmingham road site is much closer to the urban housing area. The kites nest lane site is much more secluded and does not impact on nearly so many people. It seems ludicrous to consider a move to birmingham road from kites nest lane.

I am also concerned that the is no local consultation meeting at Hatton Park whose residents would be adversely affected by this site if it were accepted. I would be grateful if you could include at meeting at Hatton Park in your consultation process. I am happy to attend other areas meetings but feel that they would be more concerned with proposals affecting them locally and any issue affecting residents in Hatton Park would be lost. I would be grateful if this could receive urgent attention in order that our local residents are able to be fully informed and meet the deadline to make their feelings known.
