My Husband & I would like to put our strong objections in writing to the proposed Gypsy Traveller site off Stratford Road, Warwick as our objections are detailed below:-

A.) The Chase Meadow estate has grown quite considerably in size since we purchased a new home here in 2007, we moved into the area because of professional reasons and our criteria in searching for a new home was based on various positive reasons, good schools for our children, close links to all Motorway networks for business/work travel, the feel of a community spirit and a comfortable general standard of living everyone seems to adhere to on the estate.

B.) At no point was there any mention of Chase meadow ever being near a proposed Gypsy Traveller site otherwise these houses would have NEVER sold on this basis, Chase Meadow is predominantly a working professional estate with many families paying their taxes with an estimated 70% paying the higher tax bracket, why should these Gypsy Travellers get the same privileges as us residents and not pay any of their taxes?
We paid a premium for our house along with many residents, this will impact on a drop in value in house prices, we will be unable to re-sell, and it is in effect stealing about an average/minimum of £50,000 from people!

What ever happened to morals & ethics of the person/s making these crazy decisions? I doubt any live on CM or in the vicinity??. We are looking forward to the meeting taking place at Aylesford School on Thurs 4 Dec to verbally voice our objections along with many other angry residents.
