Object to the four proposed permanent Travellers sites to be situated close to Chase Meadow. Main objections are:
The local infrastructure (schools, doctors, roads) would not be able to support one or more of these sites; any additional traffic could have an impact on the safety of existing residents; these sites would have an impact on how the town is viewed and could affect tourism and therefore have a negative impact on the local economy; Chase Meadow may still have a high risk of flooding and this would have to be taken into consideration when allocating sites.
There should be an urgent meeting so there is the opportunity to discuss and ask more questions about the proposals.
I am writing to advise of my formal objection to the four proposed permanent Travellers sites to be situated close to Chase Meadow.
My main objections are:
The current local infrastructure would not be able to support one or more of these sites, ie. local schools, doctors, roads
Any further additional traffic could have an impact on the safety of existing residents
Warwick is the most historical town in Warwickshire - these sites would have an impact on how the town is viewed and could affect Tourism to the area which many local businesses rely on and therefore have a real negative impact on the local economy
Chase Meadow - I believe may still come up as having a high risk of flooding when local searches are undertaken - surely this would have to be taken into consideration when looking for where these sites can be placed?
I will be attending the Public Meeting on 15th July.
