Respondent: Robert Cox

Representation Summary:

I do realise that change has to happen. However we have lived here for many years surrounded by countryside and you are now going to urbanise us. Not only are you putting in a new road and possible new buildings you are also putting in a bicycle track alongside our property! A traveller camp within metres of us, are you trying to make our lives hell. We had travellers move in the field next to us about 8 years ago and caused us nothing but trouble. I was having confrontations with them regularly to keep them off our property.

Why was it that we first learnt about the new road and building plans from a man who worked for a national building company. He knocked on our door wanting to buy our family house and land to build on. He also told us that a new road was being put in. Why does no one come and talk to the home and land owners before decisions are made to alter our way of life and property.

I do realise that change has to happen. However we have lived here for many years surrounded by country side and you are now going to urbanise us. Not only are you putting in a new road and possible new buildings you are also putting in a bicycle track alongside our property! A traveller camp within metres of us, are you trying to make our lives hell. We had travellers move in the field next to us about 8 years ago and caused us nothing but trouble. I was having confrontations with them regularly to keep them off our property. My wife and children did not want to go across to our fields afraid for their safety. Are we going to put through this hell yet again?
