Gypsy and Traveller Site Options

Representation ID: 59260

Respondent: Mrs Clare Barnes

Representation Summary:

Sites GT11, 17 and 18 are very close together. Maps need to show the true impact. Concerned GT11 and GT17 could be joined to make a much larger site.

My husband attended a residents association meeting this evening and it was quite apparent there is a lot of anger locally about the lack of local consultation by the council. That's not to mention the anger about the proposals.

I have already raised my concerns about this and would like to know what the council intends to do. As I've said before consultation is just that and people affected need to be informed, not people the other side of Warwick. I imagine people the other side of Warwick are quite pleased as this isn't on their door steps and will probably support the proposal!

I'm also extremely concerned to hear the the bin leaflets were not delivered to the Forbes Estate. These people are as affected as us, as the local schools are within this area. This is frankly very poor.

I'm also very disapointed by the leaflet produced to explain the location of the Gyspy Sites. Can you confirm that the pictures used are of Gypsy sites and not just holiday sites. There are no cars or people even. No concrete hard standing or toilet blocks. Really not very representative. Also, the map that shows the positon of all the sites is misleading. The site GT17&18 are opposite. The map doesn't show this.
