I object to the plan for a site at River hill. I live at Bramford Road and feel my this would seriously decrease the value of my home. Having a had a mortgage for 9 years and putting all my time and money into a house that I would no longer want to live in would be devastating.
I have recently joined clarice house I would be cancelling my membership if these plans went ahead.
There are safety issues concerning the site entrance, the link to West Meadows site, and the concern about unwanted arrival of travellers exceeding the 5 pitch allocation.
Having endured the illegal camp that took over our park in the summer, I can say I was afraid to even leave my own home unless absolutely necessary, I'm shocked I could actually be forced into this situation [it] has caused extreme stress already.
I feel another site must be found in place of this one and the land used to provide for the surrounding community, there should be no traveller site at river hill,
