Land is not a suitable option
It's on the junction of two extremely busy and dangerous roads, which are getting busier.

Land at Barnwell Farm Harbury Lane

I would like to register my objection to the proposal that the above land be used for a traveller and gypsy site.

This is on the junction of two extremely busy and dangerous roads. Fosse Way is already under pressure from increased traffic due to Jaguar Land Rover, and Harbury Lane is now also used by buses to and from the National Grid site. Traffic from Leamington F.C. pours out onto the same road at regular intervals, already causing problems.

Local amenities such as the doctors and schools are already at capacity.

There will be a huge visual impact too, and I feel we should be retaining as much farmland and countryside as we can with a view to minimising the damage to wildlife.

I do not feel that this land is a suitable option for a site of this nature.
