I wish to strongly object to the location of Gypsy and Traveller sites 12 and 16 within the village of Barford. This type of development is totally inappropriate for a small, quiet rural village and would substantially change the character of the village. For example it is highly likely that crime rates locally would rise and that policing costs would increase. It is also likely that the performance of the school, built up by hard work over many years would be negatively affected.The survey which identifies the need for 31 permanent pitches within the District seems unreliable.
