I write to express my complete objection to consideration to the possible location of a Gypsy site in close proximity to our large residential estate housing a very large number of law abiding and rate paying families like myself.
There are very many reasons for Rate Paying people objecting to such encampments and we regularly see demonstrations around the country where major difficulties are experienced by honest hard working people.
We also today see a great upswell of voters who now are easily able to replace both councillors and MPs with people who understand that the needs of the people are not to be ignored and where such needs are ignored, then we seek major change in the people who are supposed to represent us.
Who is it that have been obliged to pay for several massive clean ups in the chase meadow area following unlawfull occupation of land adjacent to our estate. Don't bother to answer the question and please don't dare to suggest that such people will adopt different patterns of behaviour where they are given a permanent site.
I would like to point out that the local school where my wife and I previously lived suffered horrendous problems which resulted in many families taking their children away from the school.
Please remember the needs and the wishes of all the present families and rate payers on both Chase Meadow and indeed the surrounding areas before deciding to use the area proposed on the Stratford Road
