I'm writing to you regards a communication we've received about a potential traveller gypsy site on Stratford road, Warwick. We've been advised of these plans by a letter from the Chase Meadow resident association, no official communication has been received from Warwick District Council about this.

We currently live on Stratford road, the main road into Warwick, where in the summer the road is continually busy with traffic going to the Castle and town. We have a continuous new development for property at the end of the road and now the Council want to put a gypsy site at the end of our road?!

As this road is the main road into Warwick, the town and castle do the Council think it is appropriate to have cars queuing up to get into one of the UK's top attractions past a gypsy site, is this going to be good for the ecommerce of Warwick town?

Surely there has to be some consultation with the residents? Or do our views not count until this has been passed by the council?

Would it not make more sense to put the site in one of the other proposed locations, where they do not get the influx of traffic that we do, have the strain on schools and other local services that we do due to the continued housing development at the bottom of Statford road.

I look forward to your assistance in this matter.
