We would like to add our names to those concerned by proposals for a permanent traveller site on the Stratford Road, in Warwick known as site B in the local plan draft.

As residents of Chase Meadow, we know only too well of the impact of the minority of the traveling community, when during their recent stay near the entrance of Aylesford school, they left the area in terrible state during and once they had left.

As most other local residents would say, we would prefer this not on our doorstep. But bearing in mind that the Stratford Road is the main route into Warwick from the M40 and thereby has hundreds of visitors to the area travelling along it every day. We believe this should be protected from any potential disruption or negative visual impact.

We also have concerns about the way in which the site has been put forward at such a late stage, not being on the initial list of alternatives, or preferred options, which were known publically as early as June 2013. Then subsequently being fast tracked down to a list of three based on land for potential development becoming available.

We hope to have the opportunity to express our concern further during the consultation on the site during September.
