Gypsy and Traveller Site Options

Representation ID: 56622

Received: 28/07/2013

Respondent: Mrs Dawn Cowgill

Representation Summary:

Object to proposed Gypsy/Traveller as follows:

Local schools and amenities are already over-subscribed and stretched to capacity so this area is not able to provide schools/Doctor's facilities to a travelling community.

Local road network cannot cope with current volume of traffic. A convoy of travellers' vehicles regularly moving around would create traffic chaos.

A site for this type of community should be created in an area that could provide the amenities and services they require.

Re: Proposed sites GT03 and GT04

I wish to object to the proposed Gypsy/Traveller sites at the above locations for the following reasons:

The local schools and amenities are already over subscribed and stretched to capacity, - how can this area provide schools/Doctor's facilities to a travelling community?

Our local road network cannot cope already with the volume of traffic currently using the road network, a convoy of travellers vehicles moving around on a regular basis would create traffic chaos.

It would be far more suitable to create a site for this type of community in an area that could provide the amenities and services that they would require.
