Respondent: Mr Keith Miles

Representation Summary:

Fosse Way/Harbury Lane has history of serious accidents. Visibility at junctions is poor and 50 mph limit is dangerous at the road junctions.

No footpaths/cycleways exist.

Local schools are at capacity. Education of local children will be compromised by the needs of traveller children- evidence of this at Tredington village school which is near a traveller`s site.

Local doctor`s surgeries at capacity.

Lack of mains services especially sewerage and drainage.

I object to site GTO4 on the following grounds:-

1..Location on Fosse Way / Harbury Lane in an area which has a history of serious accidents in recent years. Visibility at junctions is poor and, despite the presence of speed cameras, the current 50mph limit is still dangerous at the road junctions.

2..No footpaths / cycleways exist.

3..Local schools are at capacity. Education of local children will be compromised by the needs of children who will come and go at random times - evidence at Tredington village school which is local to a traveller`s site.

4.. Local doctor`s surgeries at capacity.

5.. Lack of mains services especially sewerage and drainage.

6.. The access to the site from the north corner is an unmade bridle way leading into a public footpath unsuitable for trucks and caravans on a regular basis.

7.. This site is adjacent to the railway line with inadequate security fencing - hazardous for children and teenagers in particular.
