I have found your contact details on the CMRA website, and understand that you are the best person to contact for objections to the newly proposed gypsy site on the Stratford Road. I am absolutely horrified to learn that this area which has not been detailed before in any of the plans, is now in the remaining three in this area to house a gypsy site permanently. My family have lived on Chase Meadow for 7 years, and are about to move to one of the new Bellway homes opposite the lake, at great expense. We are not alone in being absolutely horrified at the thought of the gypsies being in such close proximity to our estate.

This is a beautiful estate, made up of hard working families with young children, who pay a premium to live here. We certainly don't want to have a permanent gypsy site on our doorstep who will have a negative impact on our community, businesses, and facilities. I grew up in an area of Surrey with a site, and there were huge issues relating to crime and anti social behaviour. Unfortunately as much as the ideal is to integrate these people into the community, and recognise their rights to a standard of living, the sad fact is that they don't want to integrate with the rest of society. You only have to watch the Channel 4 programmes to recognise this.

The Europa Way and Harbury Lane sites would surely be better alternatives as they are not near a well established community such as Chase Meadow, so there would be less detrimental effects to house prices, crime, and quality of life.

I would like my name and my husband's name to be added to the list of the potential objectors to this site. We feel that it should be no where near Chase Meadow.
