Representation Summary:

Don't understand allowing gypsies to settle in Baginton as they bring nothing but trouble and would ruin the community and Coventry Golf club. Previous experience (from nuisance to theft of personal belongings) suggests having them near a prestigious golf club is a foolish idea.
Having permanent site makes no sense. Would spoil a lovely area of the West Midlands.

The fact that you even considered allowing gypsies to settle in such a wonderful little village like Baginton is beyond me, I certainly wouldn't let my child go to the same school as any travellers, they bring nothing but trouble. I would move. They would certainly ruin the community of Baginton and The Coventry Golf club. Us golfers have all experienced gypsies on one or another course they cause havoc, ranging from just being a nuisance to theft of personal belongings, having them near such a prestigious golf club such as Coventry golf club is a foolish idea. Especially as the proposed site is permanent (which makes no sense in my head). The move would spoil a lovely area of the West Midlands, Nobody wants gypsies anywhere near them.
