Bramford has already provided a site. It is on a 70 mph busy road and like the proposed site in River Hill has poor visibility and there is a real possibility of accidents with traffic entering and leaving the site. There is also already the large site at Meadow Hills. I feel Bramford is over burdened with building, Papermill Lane, Waste site at Blakenham, poor road conditions and increased traffic. The local school is already oversubscribed. Why don't Ipswich provide their own sites on vacant land in Ipswich ?
We in Bramford have recently, against almost overwhelmingly objections from both residents in Bramford and Sproughton already have a site for gypsy and travellers that was passed with total disregard to the opinions and objections of residents. Surely then we have provided a site. What about Ipswich itself. There is numerous vacant land. Bramford has a future development of houses etc in Papermill Lane. There is very poor road conditions and no public transport there. The massive waste plant at great Blakenham has also impacted on traffic and the huge towers dominate the skyline as well will pollute the local air. The road conditions are dangerous on that road if there is traffic coming in and out. It is not possible to see clearly and there is a real possibility of accidents. Surely Bramford has provided a gypsy site already.
