There are many reasons why Riverhill is not suitable for Traveller sites.
Safety is my main concern.
Bramford Road past the A14 bridge is too dangerous - cars travel along it quickly. Also the site next to the A14 is very noisy. Access to basic services is very poor from this location.
Riverhill is not suitable for a traveller site.
Bramford road, past the A14 bridge is too dangerous. Cars go up and down that part of the road above the speed limit all the time.
There is bound to be a nasty accident if there are children and animals running around.
Also, I would not want to live SO close to the A14 - it is very very noisy that close, as I am sure you would agree. Does this really comply with health and safety rules?
Furthermore, access to basic services is very poor from this location: there is little in the way of public transport, there is no GP or secondary school nearby.
If travellers DON'T commute to work, will they be needing planning permission for business premises onsite? I don't think any further businesses have been allowed on Riverhill, so this may not suit them.
