Testun llawn:
Dear Sir/Madam,
Revised Development Strategy and Sites for Travellers
I should like to put my objection in writing,as requested on your comments feedback.
My outline objections are that the estate I live on, Chase Meadows, house prices will reduce with "sites" so very close to us.
Burglaries will increase. Local bars and shops have to close on Bank Holidays due to an over spill of Travellers attending the races.
Is this acceptable from a Warwick tax payers point of view?
Why can't these "sites" be put on green belt sites away from normal hardworking population, who struggle to improve their
lives i.e. moving to a semi rural area where the estate is advertised as "very sought after area". You intend to build 150
homes on green belts sites, so what difference, therefore, would a Traveller Site situated in the same environment make ??
I would advise to read the Sun newspaper, story below recently published:
Gypsy invasion as council boss goes on travels
Mob free to terrorise village West Parley after
liaison officer who deals with them went on hols
TRAVELLERS ran amok in a village for TEN DAYS while the council officer who deals with them was on holiday.
Scared locals were threatened with violence and urine was thrown at a child after 40 gypsies invaded a recreation ground.
The mob used a kids' play area as a toilet, damaged picnic and park benches and even chopped down a 20ft tree.
But when residents rang Dorset County Council to evict them they were told gypsy and traveller liaison officer Paula Clover was on leave.
The council had no proper back-up plan for dealing with travellers — which wins them a Sun Non-Sense Award in our campaign to highlight the battiness of rule-makers.
Parish council chairman John Cullen was chased out of the park in West Parley, near Bournemouth, as he tried to take photos of the damage.
He said: "A van drove across the field towards me with three extremely large blokes in the front.
"They told me to stick my camera where the sun doesn't shine, I legged it.
"I was told some people were threatened by lads on quad bikes and that a bucket of wee was thrown at a child."
The travellers quit the site after being served a 48-hour eviction notice — leaving the village with a £1,000 clean-up bill.
Villager Pat Couper, 77, said: "They broke a padlock to get on to the recreation ground.
"The following week the liaison officer said they had to spend 24 hours to assess their needs.
"The process had to be done in the proper way so not to infringe their human rights.
"It didn't seem to matter that they'd caused criminal damage."
Dorset council's deputy leader Hilary Cox said: "The parish council did not get, perhaps, the assistance needed, when they needed it."
Police said they had reports of anti-social behaviour but added "there is no criminal investigation".
Are these the sought of people that should be living around Chase Meadow???
