This location is in no way suitable for a permanent traveller site. The approach road from the Ipswich direction is difficult to use even at quiet times whilst at peak times trying to negotiate around all the residents parked cars is at times impossible!
From the Bramford end the railway bridge is a bottleneck and causes many problems. This is not an easy stretch of road to use.
Travellers by their way of life do not in general use cars like most people, preferring to rely on much larger 7.5 tonne trucks or large fwd vehicles to move around.
This proposal will only add more difficulties to what is now a bad enough situation.
Lastly we in this part of Ipswich are only just now recovering from the influx of travellers we experienced last year on the recreation ground at the end of Lovetofts Drive.
It made life in the area intolerable and very frightening.
Therfore I fervantly object to the proposal to turn the land into a permanent traveller site.
I consider that that their representatives will assure the council that 'they will not cause any problems and that their conduct will be good at all times' but it could prove untrue.
