Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

Objects to GT02 on the following grounds:
*Warwickshire exhibition centre is a thriving business which will be destroyed. The loss of employment will harm other businesses and bars and shops which rely on trade from visitors to the centre.
* the nearest GP surgery is full to capacity the next is 5 miles away. The primary school is nearly at full capacity.
* It will not be safe for children to leave the site due to the lack of footpaths, the only bus stop does not have pavement to reach it.
*The site is on a high risk travel route with more than 12 serious accidents in the last three years. Cycling is particularly hazardous on this route. Additional use of adjacent roads by gypsies and their vehicles will simply increase these dangers
* The site could be integrated into the landscape without harming the character of the area, wildlife and adjacent ancient woodland and archaeology.

I am writing in response to Warwick Council's plans for a Gypsy/Traveller site at the Warwickshire Exhibition Centre. I wish to REGISTER MY OBJECTION to these plans for the following reasons:-

Warwickshire Exhibition Centre is a thriving business employing up to 40 people, contributing a substantial amount of money to the local economy each year. THIS BUSINESS WILL BE DESTROYED if your plans go ahead with subsequent loss of those jobs. This will in turn harm the local economy regarding businesses such as restaurants, bars and shops which benefit from trade from visitors to the Centre with the subsequent loss of employment of local people. I understand that the Exhibition Centre has lost prospective business already because of the proposed plans.

This site is not a suitable location for a gypsy/traveller site, the nearest doctor's surgery is full to capacity and the next nearest available surgeries are almost 5 miles away. The local primary school is almost full to capacity. IT WILL NOT BE SAFE FOR ANY CHILDREN to leave the site unattended, as there are NO FOOTPATHS OR CYCLEWAYS, it will even be dangerous for adults to use adjacent roads on foot or cycle. The only bus stop is on an overgrown grass verge on a busy commuter route with no path or pavement to walk on. The site is on a high risk travel route with more than 12 serious accidents in the last three years. Cycling is particularly hazardous on this route. Additional use of adjacent roads by gypsies and their vehicles will simply increase these dangers

The site could not be integrated into the landscape without harming the character of the area. The visual impact across the valley gateway to Leamington and Warwick will be substantially impaired whilst the damage to wildlife habitat with the site adjacent to protected ancient woodland would be considerable. The site is also on the Archaeological Register with ancient pottery recently found and is also on an Historic Toll site from mediaeval times.

WARWICK COUNCIL HAS SURELY NOT DONE ITS HOMEWORK THOROUGHLY ON ITS PLANS FOR THIS SITE. IT IS TOTALLY UNSUITABLE WITH NEGATIVE KNOCK-ON CONSEQUENCES FOR THE WHOLE LOCAL COMMUNITY. WARWICK DISTRICT COUNCIL SHOULD NOT ALLOW THIS UNACCEPTABLE PLAN TO GO AHEAD .
