This email is in opposition to the proposed applications for gypsy sites around Long Itchington. My objections are based on 15yrs living in Bidford on Avon where we were plagued with travellers who smashed up the youth club, destroyed the local garage/ filling station. Attacked local youths and called at my house many times demanding to be driven to places, aggresively pushed for work including tarmacing. landscapeing and various other things over the years. They drove around Bidford and Marlcliff spitting on whoever came within range. Men, women and children were all their targets with NO support or action from the Police. The sites are no-go areas and overcrowded with little or no repect for the planning laws. If the government says sites must be provided then let them make room in Downing street and Kensington. They would see it from an entirely different point of view.
