Representation Summary:

Experience of illegal encampment proves they do not want to integrate

Full text:

I have find out that another site has been proposed which is off Stratford Road. It is rather ironic that a plot of land owned by the district is now available just when Taylor Wimpey has sold all those new houses and therefore when a purchase my house a few month this was not mention by my solicitor or Taylor Wimpey. Is it a coincidence???
Anyway I've moved in Warinford Close a few month ago and I have experience the problem cause by the travellers over Easter, about 20 caravans moved by Aylsford school and we have experience a number of problems during those 2 weeks;
* I have to drive my daughter to school due to safety concern
* Dogs guarding the path
* Kids running on the road and staying on the road as you drive
* Litter on the patch way
* Travellers kid playing by the new pond and throwing the safety ring (they saw me but didn't care, those people have no respect for the law)
* They cut through the school fence.
* On they left the site, it took a whole day to clear up
I wouldn't feel safe going for a walk in the evening as I am currently doing.

Theft will increase, two hotels close to the site with some lovely cars and a new estate......dinner on a plate

Those people do not integrate! Let not kid ourselves. What have seen over the 2 weeks they were by Aylesford School is enough for me to put my house on the market. We felt intimidated, the police try to stop them to park but fell to do so.

Also what a great image for Warwick, first thing before you drive to Warwick is a travellers/gipsy camp.

This traveller camp is about 1/2 mile, that is far too close.
