Gypsy and Traveller Site Options

GT11 Land at Budbrooke Lodge, Racecourse and Hampton Road

Representation ID: 55606

Received: 26/07/2013

Respondent: Warwick Chamber of Trade and Commerce

Representation Summary:

Too near centre of town. Concerned regarding crime levels.

Full text:

On behalf of Warwick Chamber of Trade I am objecting to the potential siting of a permanent travellers site on land at Budbrooke Farm/Racecourse. This is too near the centre of town and we have grave reservations about the impact on crime levels in the town. We know that the police already advise some businesses to shut when the Easter Race meeting is on and the travellers visit. There is already a reduced level of policing in the town centre due to their budgetry restrictions.
We also think the number of sites proposed around this area of Warwick is unreasonable and should be spread fairly across the district even if this means encroaching on a small amount of green belt land.
Travellers all have vehicles so have the means to access school and medical facilities from anywhere in the district.
