To whom it may concern,

It is with horror we have learnt of the proposal of siting traveller sites close to the village of Harbury.
We have been residents of Harbury for thirty seven years and feel strongly opposed to this ill-thought out proposal 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.
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.
4/ Whether it offends the supporters of political correctness or not, the simple truth is that people like ourselves, the vast majority of people who have worked hard, paid income tax, council and road tax and national insurance in the thousands of pounds for many years bitterly and justifiably resent these people who turn up and expect special attention and definitely DO NOT PAY THEIR DUES. There is no doubt whatsoever that this would cause considerable bitterness.

Please do not take this consideration any further.
