Representation Summary:

Understand that up-to four sites for Gypsies and Travellers planned in my community. Although not sure of exact locations, really pleased about these plans. They have previously been made to move on without having anywhere else to go and it's time we accepted their way of life; they are no different to the locals that live in council houses and flats, they just prefer a caravan. Hope this opinion, which is shared by others, is taken into consideration. Hope the dim view some have of Gypsies and Travellers won't stop the plan going ahead.

I am really pleased to hear that there is a plan to have up-to four sites for Gypsies and Travellers with my local conmunity.

I hope this plan goes ahead as before Gypsies and Travellers have been made to move on without having anywhere else to go and I think it's time as a conmunity we accepted there way of life because they are no different to the local people that live in council houses and council flats, they just prefere to live in a caravan instead.

I know that some people have dim views on the Gypsy and Traveller conmunity but I hope this won't stop the plan going ahead.

Unfortunatly I am unable to attened the meeting at Aylesford School on the 15th, but I hope my opion which is shared by others is heard and taken into consideration.

I would like to know the where-abouts of these four proposed sites for Gypsies and Travellers and how the meeting goes on the 15th. If that is not too much trouble of course.
