Dear Sirs

I am writing in response to Warwick Council's plan to locate a gypsy/traveller site at the Warwickshire Exhibition Centre and outline below my objections to this location:
*There are no schools within walking distance of the site.
*The only bus stop, is on a busy road, and the few buses using it at the moment cause traffic congestion on the Fosse Way, a road already the scene of many traffic accidents.
*Turning into and away from the site will cause delays and queues in the roads nearby.
*Local GP surgeries appear to be working to capacity as it is difficult to make appointments at short notice with the current population.
*Leamington, Warwick and the attractive surrounding countryside are popular with tourists and would be spoilt by any development of the site.
*The site is adjacent to an ancient woodland where wildlife habitat is already under threat by the proposal to build HS2.
*The existing Exhibition Centre drawers visitors to the area which is good for the local economy.
