This is a beautiful country area which can not be classed as suitable or sustainable in any way. There is no local GP there isn't even access into the village without crossing a very busy bypass and this would have to be crossed by children for the local primary school and children to catch busses to other schools. The access to the road network is on a fast stretch of main road which has already seen accidents and fatalities. Socially the Gypsys and travellers are very different to the local village people which is bound to cause issues. There are no local police.
Barford has been voted one of the best villages to live in the country (No. 52 I believe)! how can WDC possibly feel that it is a suitable location for a G&T site. The villagers have worked hard to create a clean, safe and very friendly environment for children and all residents which will be shattered by the introduction of the proposed G&T site.
