Object to proposed travellers' site as follows:
Fosse Way connects sites GT02, 03 & 04 and traffic has built-up significantly recently mostly due to increase in workers travelling to Gaydon factory sites. Traveller sites would make this much worse. It is a fast road and could have accidents if travellers crossing on foot.
Combined School in Harbury provides high standard education for local children. An influx of traveller children would put a considerable strain on resources, unjustifiably adversely affecting village children.
Doctors' surgery in Harbury already serves several villages and is under strain. This would significantly increase the pressure to maintain services.
To whom it may concern,
I object to the proposed travellers site for a number of reasons.
1/ There has been a significant build-up of traffic on the Fosse Way which connects all the sites in recent times due mostly to the great expansion of workers travelling to the Gaydon factory sites. This would serve to make this considerably worse.
It is also a fast road and with travellers crossing the road on foot, it would be a likely accident spot.
2/ The Combined School in Harbury has always maintained a high standard of education for local children. An influx of traveller children would put a considerable strain on resources,unjustifiably adversely affecting the village children.
3/ The local Doctors surgery in Harbury already serves a number of local villages and is always under strain. This would significantly increase the pressure to maintain services.
Please do not take this consideration any further.
