I am emailing to object to the Gypsy & Traveller Site Proposal for Stratford Road Warwick.

There are many points against this proposal but the one I wish to highlight is the Health and Safety aspect with regard to the travellers themselves. The proposal places them adjacent to a large sewage works which is not the place where I would choose to live under any circumstances and would certainly not wish my children to live. I feel sure that had this land been suitable for building on, there would have been successful proposals for housing well before now.

Surely the life style of travellers is more associated with the countryside rather than heavily populated urban areas. A siting such a as Stratford Road is bound to have a huge number of potential protesters owing to its proximity to Warwick town, it's potential negative effect on the development of local business in Tournaments Fields, and the costs which would be incurred in shielding it from the worst effects of being next to the sewage works and the possibility of flooding when the Avon overflows its banks.

Please in order to avoid mass opposition to this scheme, withdraw the plan and seek a more rural solution.
