Since I made my objection known in the first local plan I see you have upped the total of houses to be built.

I feel the district council are ignoring the feelings of the village and am so perplexed as to why you required our parish councillors to write a village plan and then totally ignore it.

Our village is fully utilized and this amount of housing will seriously affect the well being of its residents.

Also why do we have to provide all of these sites for Gypsies? You call them showmen in your description of them but the ones we see are usually tarmacing people's drives from white vans which have magnetic false company names attached to the sides to make them look legitimate. Or they do gardening (as they did for an elderly neighbour) then dumped the cuttings down the road in a gateway. Council had to remove it at goodness knows what cost. So I do question why they should receive special treatment and be found land when they don't contribute to council coffers as everyone in this village has to. It's just not fair or right.
