Proposed Sites for Gypsies and Travellers
I wish to object against the proposed site GT02Land at Warwickshire Exhibition Centre, Fosse Way for Gypsies and Travellers.


My comments and concerns are as follows:

1. Access to Local Amenities:
* The nearest doctor's surgery has no capacity for the influx of new patients.
* The nearest primary, junior and secondary schools are already at capacity.

2. Travel
* The site is on a High Risk travel route with more than 12 serious accidents in last 3 years.
* The Fosse Way is already a busy and dangerous, especially at peak times when there is increased Jaguar/Land Rover traffic.
* There is no path or pavement to walk anywhere and cycling is dangerous on this busy commuter route.
* No bus stop is available on the Fosse Way and providing one would be unsafe for road users.
* Children cannot be allowed to stand on a busy road to wait for transport to school.
* Access to the site would be near a very busy roundabout.

3. Rural Environment / Other
* The proposed site will have a visual impact from The Fosse Way.
* The proposed site has no mains gas, mains sewerage or drainage.
* The proposed site is very near the popular Warwickshire Exhibition Centre and would have a detrimental impact on the business. Exhibitors and visitors may be put off by having such a site so close by, meaning a loss of jobs in the area.


Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require verification of my objection.
