Preferred Options for Sites

Representation ID: 64242

Received: 06/05/2014

Respondent: Mrs Elaine Nomura

Representation Summary:

Why are we expected to give land to certain people on which to put their caravans ? Can they not finance and provide for themselves as I do?
There are so many more suitable/worthy causes we would like to see our council tax money spent on in these difficult financially lean times.
Is there some reason you have chosen sites right on the extreme edge of Warwick District? Is it so that Stratford District Council will have to pick up the costs of education/health-care ?
Providing such sites creates the possibility of attracting more travellers to the area and creating more and more expense. We should not have to finance people just because they choose an unconventional life-style.

I would like to object to the plans for 2 gypsy/ traveller sites on the edge of Harbury.

1. Why are we expected to give land to certain people on which to put their caravans ? Can they not finance and provide for themselves as I do?

2. I strenuously object to land at Leamington Football Club being given away as this is going to end up causing massive extra expense for WDC in ultimately WDC having to provide new quarters for the Football Club.

3. I strenuously object to you targeting land at the Exhibition Centre on the Fosse Way. Do you not realise that this is going to interfere with a business that has been carefully developed over many years and which provides jobs and entertainment in the area ?

4. Both sites are traffic accident hotspots and not suitable for families possibly with young children, or teenagers on bicycles.

5. There are so many more suitable and worthy causes we would all like to see our council tax money spent on in these difficult financially lean times.

6. Which of the over-subscribed schools in the area do you intend to send their children to ?

7. Is there some reason you have chosen sites right on the extreme edge of Warwick District Council ? Is it so that Stratford District Council will have to pick up the costs of education and health-care ?

8. Providing such sites creates the possibility of attracting more travellers to the area and creating more and more expense. We should not have to finance people just because they choose an unconventional life-style.
