I wish to object most strongly at the proposal to purchase the Warwickshire Exhibition site for the use of travellers and gypsies.

How can you justify taking away someone's livelihood (apparently already affected) and the 40 or so jobs that go with it, in order to provide somewhere for people who do not work and do not pay taxes?
The site is on a high risk travel route which is busy particularly in the summer and at peak times.
It is near to protected wild life in ancient woodland.
It is nowhere near to local amenities such as schools, doctors' surgeries, shops, so there is likely to be constant coming and going from the site causing disruption to traffic.
There is a great possibility that the site could be permanently ruined as other sites in the country have been, therefore being detrimental to the historic rural countryside.

If a site has to be found for these people, surely one could be found without destroying the thriving Exhibition centre. I cannot believe that this proposal has been suggested in the first place
