My family live at Highdown Cottage Harbury Lane Bishops Tachbrook.

We are responding to the consultation of the gypsy sites in WDC

Firstly will they be contributing to the council as we do to maintain our amenities????

We have had experience of travellers many times at the recreation ground Harbury Lane and felt threatened by them and had to call the police to our property when one of them trespassed in our grounds as was ready to steal a dog. It was only our vigilance that prevented him.
We have also seen the filth left behind and one of your workers physically retching at what he had to clear up. Too disgusting to put in print!!
My concern is that any rural site which is isolated will end up the same and we as rate payers will foot the bill again and again.
When you move maybe Riverside would be a good place for them where they can be part of a community and have shops ETC that they can walk to.
Harbury Lane is a fast and dangerous road to start a new family community with no paths or lighting
