I wish to object the proposed site GT02 Fosse Way/B425, GT03 and GT04 Land at Barnwell Farm for Gypsies and Travellers.

My comments and concerns are as follows:

1. Access to Local Amenities
- The nearest doctors surgery appears to be Harbury which currently struggles to support the village itself, it certainly does not have capacity for an influx of new patients.
- Likewise with the nearest primary, junior and secondary schools these are also at full capacity.

2. Travel
- The proposed site is on a high risk travel route with more that 12 serious accidents in the last 3 years and is especially dangerous where the Fosse Way meets the Harbury Lane crossroads.
- There are no bus stops available on the Fosse way and because of the volume of traffic providing one would be unsafe for other road users.
- The Fosse way is already a very busy and dangerous road, especially from the increased Jaguar/Land Rover traffic.
- More importantly there are no paths or pavements to walk anywhere and cycling on the Fosse would be very dangerous when the road is already used as a busy commuter route.
- And children cannot be allowed to stand on a busy road to wait for school transport.

3. Rural Environment
- The proposed site has no mains gas, mains sewerage or drainage.
- It is a flood risk area, often flooding at the end of Middle Road, Harbury Lane fields.
