I am writing to record my objection to the proposal to site a traveller & gypsy site on land adjacent to Severn Trent on the Stratford Road in Warwick. I cannot believe that such a plan is being considered given the location, with a secondary school adjacent and the Warwick Gates housing development nearby.

This area has been subject to unauthorised traveller encampments in recent history; during which time the area was a virtual no go zone and very intimidating to pass by. Once the travellers were moved on, the rubbish and waste left behind was a total disgrace.

I find the proposal of any site in or around Warwick district inflammatory; using tax payers hard earned money to provide facilities for persons who contribute nothing to the economy and leave a trail of disruption anywhere they go when services for the very population who pay taxes are being cut drastically.
