As a long standing resident of Baginton Village, I feel it is most important that I write to you in view of my rejections and valid points to oppose the proposed Traveller Site at the village.

You will be aware of alternative sites within the locality already having been designated to travellers and their community. There is no valid need for an additional site on green belt land.

Further factors do not meet the already populated village, where we require further enhancements to facilities, yet await developments to include a much sought after doctors practice and more.

The village is already trying to tackle crime and burglaries in the area, and this will certainly be exacerbated by the travellers who are factually known for attracting crime and participating within it. The village does not have the resources, such as Lucy Price Gardens small park, to accommodate the number of families that you would otherwise expect to settle in the village.
This small amenity barely meets the needs of the few hundred households existent in the village. The Parish council has raised funds to enhance the Garden to a reasonable standard so local villager families can utilise the play equipment comfortably and safely according to ratios.

The permitting of countless travellers will attract am over-concentration of persons, additional to their visiting traveller communities to over populate the small village.

I urge you to respectfully consider the opinions being made and to welcome this constructive feedback which is for the benefit of both parties; existing villagers and the travellers community.
