Having considered the plan to place a traveller/gypsy camp on Birmingham Road (GT19), can only imagine that those planning the site have no idea of the actual location and have not visited the site.
Apart from the fact that it would be an eyesore for those who live in the area and those visiting the beautiful town of Warwick, many people walk, cycle and jog along the tow path and imagine fewer would wish to use the towpath if it meant walking beside what will no doubt be a noisy and untidy area, thus reducing income for those who depend on visitors to the area.
Birmingham Road is a busy and dangerous road already (several fatalities in the past few years) and as children of travellers do not seem to be well controlled it is only a matter of time before one is either killed on the road or causes an accident which results in others being killed or injured. If the road doesn't cause death or injury the canal waters probably would.
Plans for this site should be reconsidered forthwith.
