Gypsy and Traveller Site Options

Representation ID: 52827

Received: 12/07/2013

Respondent: Mr Richard Worth

Representation Summary:

I consider the Warwickshire Exhibition Centre site should not be used as a Gypsy/Traveller Site. Reasons:
1.Visual impact on a main route into Leamington and possible damage to wildlife area
2.It's on The Fosse, an important, historic Roman Road and could have detrimental effects thereon
3.The Fosse itself has become a high risk accident area in recent years and locals have been injured and killed in the last few years.
4. Local amenities are stretched anyway - an influx of extra people making life very difficult for all.
5. Should the WEC close, this will have an enormous economic effect. Job losses etc.
