PROSPECTIVE SITE FOR TRAVELLERS/GIPSIES AT SMITHS NURSERIES,BAGINTON
I wish to register my strong objections to the proposal, and moreover to query why the Authority (WDC) has to provide the facility at all!
1.Community experience at Kites Nest, so called "horse fairs"in Kenilworth,and Meriden land occupancy.
*General disregard for good social behaviour by the Travellers eg pubs forced
to close, traffic hazards caused by Sulky type carts being ridden down very
busy roads.
2. Community Costs
* Who would own the land for the prospective site, or any other site in mind?
* What would be the costs of any supporting new infrastructure?Who pays?
*Can the Authority permanently enforce limits to numbers occupying site?
*Will the potential site occupiers pay their way as all other householders do?
* Will there be legal costs borne by the Authority to guarantee planning rules are fully adhered to?

Please look at the well publicised experience of Meriden residents, the Essex farm site and others. It shows how blatantly the Travellers/Gipsies flout the the laws adhered to by conventional householders, and totally negative effect their arrival has on established local communities.
