I am responding to the recent proposals for the above primarily within the bishops Tachbrook area.

My neighbours and ourselves are very concerned about the proposals and our concerns have been compounded recently by the presence of what we assume were travellers in the nearby Hareway lane, where a number of vehicles including transit vans were present. The mess left afterwards was apalling yet typical of the reputation this group of people have earned from visits to the area in the past. The ambience of our beautiful village will be under serious threat if these permanent sites are allowed to proceed. The message is clear that we do not wish to have travellers in such close proximity and wish to formally register our opposition to any such plans.

I find it ironic that local authorities will not recognise the genuine homeless issue within the town of leamington spa yet is obligated to consider offering a permanent base for people whose purpose and lifestyle is to travel. It makes no sense. Thank you for taking the time to read this message and I trust these opinions can be given your conisideration.
