We wish to voice our objections to this proposed Permanent Gypsy Site.
This site is right at the entrance to Warwick from the M40 . This road is being called the Gateway to Warwick by our Warwick Tree Wardens Group and over the last 2 autumns tree planting has been done from the Longbridge round-about along the whole length of the Stratford Rd. up to West St. We have now started on the avenue of trees in West St.
itself.this will be a splendid approach to our historic county town of Warwick.

There is procrastination over the local plan which has left us in the situation of merely fulfilling a Central government obligation and depriving residents of adequate local representation. It is clear that Warwick town is merely seen as a dumping ground by the majority of WDC councillors. There were many other options for the siting of this Gypsy site including Leamington and Kenilworth. It would appear that the easiest option was taken. It would appear that little consideration is being given to local residents in the Longbridge area on whom this will impact greatly.

This is designated as a Rural Area by the district council and should be protected from development . The council's new Local Plan which is in fact not yet approved, proposes that this large field is developed for industrial/business purposes as well as the gypsy site. This should not be allowed to happen
