You will have received the objections from Bramford Parish Council which I endorse and will not repeat here.
West Meadows is a neighbour and we try to get along but there are issues you are well aware of. This site is overlarge and there are tensions within the community which spill over into Bramford, they are Bramford residents in effect.
I am concerned a concentration of gypsy and traveller sites on the border with Bramford will exacerbate these tensions and create new ones as there will be interaction between these sites which will impact on the settled community. We fear crime and antisocial behaviour.
Goernment policy is for small family sites which can more easily be accepted by the local community and benefit from better health and education provision. This policy is negated by creating sites which are within less than 2km of each other (I include three of the other four sites considered). This allocation is unsound on social inclusion grounds.
