Gypsy and Traveller Site Options

Representation ID: 55698

Received: 26/07/2013

Respondent: Mrs Montserrat Acero

Representation Summary:

Object because of extra pressure/traffic on the Hampton Road. Hampton Road heavily flooded in the last 12 months making it unsuitable for traffic for days.

The local surgery can't cope with the demand at present.

Proposal has generated much concern and anxiety so cannot now expect a harmonious integration between the two communities.

Site is on a main access route to Warwick which goes against the historical/traditional charm that makes Warwick so appealing to tourism.

I object to the proposed GT11 as a suitable area for gypsies and travellers due to:
- The extra pressure that more traffic will put on the Hampton Road
- The local surgery can't cope with the demand that it exists at the moment, it's already very difficult to get an appointment with a doctor as it is.
- Hampton Road has been heavily flooded in the last 12 months making it unsuitable for traffic for days.
- The proposal has generated a lot of concern and anxiety in the neighbouring communities with a general feeling of objecting to it. This is not the right platform to expect an harmonious integration between the two communities.
- Hampton Road is one of the access routes into Warwick and placing a gypsies and travellers site there will go against the historical/traditional charm that makes Warwick so appealing to tourism.
