We would like to express our serious objections to the above proposals.

We have lived on Chase Meadow for a year and chose the location because of
its pleasant location in the County Town. Within a few months of moving in
the gypsies set up camp a few hundred metres down the road from our house.
During the period they were there we were plagued with nuisance and a
feeling of intimidation and encountered heaps of rubbish and human faeces
each time we walked past their camp to get to the Stratford Road. It was
extremely disturbing and disheartening after having just paid in the region
of £450,000 for our home, thinking we were retiring to a nice location. In
view of that experience, we are appalled to learn that the site by the
Sewerage Works has now been added to the list of proposed permanent gypsy
sites, as when we purchased our home it was not a consideration.
