I am writing to express my concern and objection to the additional planned Traveller site (GT03).
As I have stated in my previous mail, Harbury is already stretched in terms of key amenities such as our local school and the doctors surgery - and this is before the additional houses are occupied which are being built in the village. I have personally struggled to get doctors appointments recently and in once case had to travel to Bishops Itchington just to see a GP due to a lack of appointments at the village surgery.
I am also concern that the proposed site would expose the travellers to unnecessary danger, as the roads around the site do not have footpaths and there is also a lack of public transport stops servicing that area.
Finally, I am also concerned about the visual and physical impact of the site on this rural area and the further influx of traffic.
