Object to the proposed traveller site GT 11 for the following reasons:
Previous encounters with travellers have not been positive (stolen property, syringes in Children's playgrounds, the mess left by the constant dumping); currently renting a property nearby but will buy outside of Warwick unless the proposed site is dropped; house prices will drop and people will lose thousands of pounds in investments; Warwick as a town will stop growing as no one wants to live near travellers thereby impacting on the town and local businesses.
I would like to object to the proposed traveller site at Budbrooke Lodge, Racecourse and Hampton Road (GT 11) for the following reasons:
1) Previous encounters with travellers have not been positive. In my previous place of residence, Littlemoor in Weymouth, the police were called to remove travellers from a field due to a increase of stolen property which was attributed to the travellers, syringes being left in Children's playgrounds and the mess left by the constant dumping by the travellers.
2) We are currently renting property in Warwick Chase with a view to buy property, until we found about this. Since we have found this information out, we a looking to buy else where outside of warwick unless the proposed site is dropped.
House prices will drop if you proceed with the proposed site, this meaning the people who have bought property around the proposed sites and on Warwick chase will have lost thousands of pounds in investments.
Not to mention the fact that warwick as a town will stop to grow as no one wants to live near travellers. This will also have an impact on the town and local businesses.
