We object on the basis that the travellers have applied the ratchet effect to apply duress and undue influence on the council in respect of the travellers illegal settlement.

The site has been included on the basis of the cynical and opportunistic slight of hand on the part of the travellers who own the site.

If this is to be allowed, what is there to prevent anybody form buying land, using it illegally and then cyncially including it in the due legal process to perfect their original illegality?

The council have identified other sites that are more suitable than the desecrated wildlife area of Kites Nest, which should be reinstated as an area of natural rural attractiveness.

On a similar vein, it is interesting to note that on the current plan, there are no travellers sites mooted for Kenilworth. May one know the reasons for this please?

Good morning all,

The Planning Inspectorate has confirmed that the Secretary of State will issue his decision on or before 22 October 2013. We shall of course let you know when we hear more.

Thank you to all of those of you who have written to Mr Elliott and Councillor Gallagher noting your concerns that WDC has inappropriately included Kites Nest Lane in its consultation document. These concerns are well placed: the appellant's agent has recently written to the Planning Inspectorate to reiterate his assertion that the site should be granted permission because it is included in the consultation document.

If you wish to lodge your concern that the site should not have been included in the consultation process but have not yet had a chance to do so, please simply "Reply to all" (your email will only come to us and Councillor Gallagher) stating your name, address, how many residents you represent and any other comments that you wish to make.

Finally, we have been delighted to receive some generous cash donations from existing and new supporters, all contributions remain very well received! We have also heard the requests for a repeat of the Curried Frog evening ...
