Bordered on one side by the main road out of Warwick and the other by the canal and by the entrance to a petrol station on the third. Dangers for children and animals on already dangerous road.
Canal would be magnet for children and compromise their safety.
Various plans for site have been submitted in past by landowner and rejected.
What will be benefit of site to Hatton area?
Flooding on road opposite.
School struggling with demand
Travellers have caused disturbances at petrol station in past.
Visible to visitors being below road height
I would like to put forward my objections to the proposed Gypsy and Traveller site on the A4177 .
1.The area will be borded on one side by the canal, another side by the busy A4177 main road in and out of Warwick, and a third by a narrow road and entrance to a petrol station. These all make it dangerous for children and animals, and could possibly cause accidents on an already accident prone main road.
2 The canal would be a magnet for the children, and I fear for their safety.
3. The plans submitted by the present resident of the property, which have been rejected, were far more in keeping with the area, bringing jobs and tourism to Warwick. CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT BENEFIT A SITE OF 5+ CARAVANS WILL BRING TO THE HATTON AREA?
4. We have seen many times over the years flooding on the main road opposite this site.
5. The school at Budbrooke is already `struggling` and having children from traveller families, who do not stay long in one area, would put an extra burden on them.
6. The travellers have caused disturbances in the past at the petrol station, and the close proximity of the site would no doubt be of concern to the owners and customers of the Shell garage.
7. It would be very visible to visitors to the area, as it is below the height of the main road.
I hope you will take my objections into consideration.
