Dear Sir

I am emailing to lodge an objection to the proposed sites for gypsies & travellers around Barford and Sherbourne on the following grounds:

Sites 12 and 16 (Barford Westham Lane) -flood plain, existence of water voles in the area and significant issue with vehicular access from and on to the Barford bypass road A429. Also there is inadequate pedestrian crossing facilities for safe access to the village at the end of Westham Lane.
Site 20 - near Longbridge Roundabout - no facilities nearby, inadequate vehicular access, unacceptable loss of farmland and rural employment, situated adjacent to historic landfills and therefore unsuitable for any form of permanent habitation and occupation.
