Dear Sir(s)

Please lodge my objection to the proposed Traveller Sites around Warwick.

I believe that there are four proposed sites close to Warwick itself. As Warwick is the most historical town in Warwickshire this plan can only negatively impact tourism in the local area. Why would the local council want to do anything that could impact revenue coming into the area in the current economic climate?

Further I believe that the Chase Meadows estate agents / house builders are all opposed. Again, why would the council embark on a course of action that is likely to adversely affect new house sales in the local area?
