I object to the use of Brooks Willow caravan site as a G & T site. Although the owner (who he?) has paid for the turn right in the main road to facilitate turning circle of vehicle plus caravan, this land is unsuitable for even a touring site. Currently (having driven past it this morning) it is storing large sacks of something very heavy, there are heavy duty lights there at night sometimes. What is the owner storing on site? Currently Warwick Castle park Trustees have objected because of the pollution which flows from Tach Brook though to New Waters in Warwick Castle Park. This is heavy metal and cadmium. What else will leach out of the soil? Cllr Caborn dismisses these fears as groundless because gipsy caravans can be on floating (ie temporary not permanent) foundations. This is invalid because they demand permanent brick houses for showers, toilets & washing machines.
