I write to object to the proposed plans for the traveller sites near Harbury.

Firstly both of the proposed sites are directly on the Fosse Way and or Harbury Lane, which are both already extremely busy and dangerous roads. The additional traffic which the sites would bring would only increase the risk of motor accidents on these roads, especially at the junctions of Fosse way and Middle Road and also at the cross roads of Harbury Lane, Fosse Way and Chesterton Road.

Furthermore the two junctions mentioned above are already horrendously busy at peak hours with traffic queuing for extremely long distances as vehicles struggle to turn into and out of Middle Road, Chesterton Road and Harbury Lane onto and from The Fosse Way.

My second area of objection is that I believe the area as a whole is already overcrowded with many people choosing to live within easy reaching distance to the M40 motorway. This has had an overcrowding effect on the education system as no new schools have been built to accommodate the mass expansion of property development in the last 20 years in our area. The development of these proposed traveller sites would undoubtedly cater for families with children who would need to go to school somewhere. But where would they go as all of the local village schools are already full.
