I am writing again to express my objection to the consideration of the permanent Gipsy and Traveller sites adjacent to the Stratford Road, near the present Severn Trent sewage works within the Warwick area.

Are you able to advise me how the vote function works by the councillors? I'm keen to understand how many votes are taken and of those how many live outside Warwick, as a proposal like this surely doesn't provide a fair vote if more live outside Warwick?

Several areas around Warwick have already undergone significant development over the past decade, one such example being the Chase Meadow estate which has already placed a burden on the local infrastructure and amenities. Current and future development will place an even greater burden on the local schools, doctors, roads and recreational / social facilities; this would only be exacerbated by the locating of Gypsy and Traveller sites in close proximity. For example, within a recent discussion with Mr Smith, Head Master of Newburgh School confirmed both his school and Aylesford are already well over-subscribed with a huge among of new build to be completed within the Chase Meadow area.

Further to this the locating of Gypsy and Traveller sites will have a huge negative impact on the town of Warwick, especially tourism and the many local businesses that rely upon this. You only have to look at the example set by many shop / restaurant owners who close early when there is an influx of Gypsies and Travellers for the Bank Holiday race meeting.
Moreover, I am left feeling rather frustrated and concerned on how this additional site has been added to the proposed list of sites at this late stage and seemingly pushed through rapidly with no consideration to the local resident.

I do hope that the views of the Warwick population are continued to be considered seriously during this process and
