Object in strongest possible terms to the proposed development of permanent traveller sites in the proximity of the Chase Meadow Estate.
This is a quiet, well regarded neighbourhood and the proposed development of traveller sites will be a permanent blight on the community, significantly affecting residents' quality of life.
Infrastructure is not in place to accommodate traveller communities: GPs and schools are at or over capacity and traffic is a problem at peak times. But overriding concern is the impact on the community. It is illogical to locate a traveller site next to a built-up, well-established and respectable residential area.
Would urge councillors to see sense and locate the sites away from established residential areas and avoid the inevitable conflicts, concerns and issues which would otherwise result.
Dear Sirs,
I am writing to object in the strongest possible terms to the proposed development of permanent traveller sites in the proximity of the Chase Meadow Estate in Warwick. This has been a quiet and well regarded neighbourhood for a number of years and the proposed development of traveller sites, especially the GT11 land at Budbrooke Lodge, Racecourse and Hampton Road (as well as sites GT20, GT17 and GT18) will be a permanent blight on the community, significantly affecting the quality of life for residents of this respectable area.
The infrastructure is not in place to accommodate traveller communities. GPs and Schools are already at or over capacity and traffic is a problem at peak times in this area. But my overriding concern is the impact on our community. Locating a traveller site next to an already built up, well established and respectable residential area is illogical - why would the council consider locating a traveller site in this area is beyond me, and I wish to formally lodge an objection, urging councillors to see sense and locate the sites away from established residential areas and avoid the inevitable conflicts, concerns and issues which will result if the sites are located near here.
