Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

I object to the gypsy and traveller site being sited next to Preston Cottage on Watermill Lane. It is unnecessary to have it so close to the Sidley area. Travellers do not mix with other communities. There is increasing risk of theft and violence when there is already too much in Sidley. If it is such a poor area then surely we should be trying to improve things.
People who want to live in a safe environment will not out of choice choose the Sidley area to live in with a traveller site on their doorstep.
