BASE HEADER

I wish to object to the proposal to use the land at the Warwickshire Exhibition Centre as a gypsy/traveller site, for the following reasons:

1. It is important to keep the Warwickshire Exhibition Centre open due to its important contribution towards the local economy each year, as well as the opportunities it provides for local employment.

2. Local schools and doctors' surgeries are already at full capacity and cannot cater for an influx of new children/patients.

3. The site is on a high risk travel route with a potentially dangerous bus stop on an overgrown verge. A gypsy/traveller community located at this site would place extreme pressure on the local infrastructure and services.

4. A gypsy/traveller site would inevitably lead to destruction of the natural environment for existing flora and fauna.

I would be grateful if you could lodge this objection with the appropriate body for consideration.
