As a Whitnash resident I wish to object to the proposal that a traveller site is constructed at Harbury Lane, Fosse Way (GT04). The reasons for my objection are as follows:

The local amenities in this area i.e. schools and doctors' surgeries are already at capacity.

The regular movement of caravans and other vehicles on a busy road where there have already been a number of accidents would only exacerbate the situation.

Whilst in theory the idea of designated gypsy/traveller sites might seem appropriate it would remain to be seen at to whether such sites if provided would be used correctly.

Recently when travellers occupied the Redland Road playing field it effectively meant that local children had nowhere to play for the period of time when the playing field was occupied by the travellers and until such time as the clean-up process had been completed.
