Gypsy and Traveller Site Options

Representation ID: 52610

Received: 28/06/2013

Respondent: Mr Richard Clark

Representation Summary:

Concerned that there are no public meetings held in S.W. Warwick, yet that is the greatest concentration of potential sites. There are 4 potential sites within 1000 metres of a large housing development but no opportunity for people to comment/object.
There must be proper consultation but the consultation process does not provide it.

And I would like you to re-raise the issue of there being no public meetings held in SWWarwick, yet it is the greater concentration of potential sites.
You list Warwick Gates, Baginton (Coventry), Sydenham, Bishops Tachbrook, Kenilworth (where there are no potential sites), North Leamington (again where there are virtually no sites), and Whitnash.
None of these provide an opportunity for the residents of SWarwick yet we have in one case four potential sites within 1000 metres of a large area of housing. Thus an unfair and biased process as we have no way of voicing opinion/ objection.
How biased is that?
There must be due and proper consultation. The plan you have for the public meetings does not provide this.
