I object to the proposed gypsy sites in and around Hockley and particularly Option GT4. First of all this land is currently designated as green belt by the local council and it is questionable why it is even being considered as a possible traveller site. The idea that such as a site in close proximity to a residential settlement will promote community cohesion is laughable and completely naive travellers/gypsies are a nomadic community with little interest in integrating themselves into the general population. Hockley is currently a desirable place to live, please don't spoil it!
