I wish to object to the proposal of 5 pitches for travellers on the river hill site.I feel that Bramford village has once again drawn the short straw.We have been threatened with the monstrous Snowasis developement for several years, we have to endure daily the eyesore that is the Landmark house.We now have the incinerator and the subsequent increased volumes of traffic. We already have the travellers site at West Meadows now you want to impose another site on our doorstep.
I would like to now what other sites have been looked at in the Ipswich borough other than the north/west area. This site appears to be totally unsuitable for travellers to live on. With the close proximity of the A14 the noise pollution and air pollution would be unbearable as well as very poor access to the site from Ipswich or Bramford.Also a thriving local buisiness Clarice House employing 49 people has stated that if the proposal was to go ahead they may well be forced to close making 49 people unemployed, due to members leaving the club.Clarice House has also proposed using the land as a recreation area for the general public. I would ask that you reconsider this site and choose somewhere much more suitable.
