Allocations DPD Discussion and Consultation Document

Representation ID: 19617

Received: 29/04/2010

Respondent: Mr Chris Hain

Representation Summary:

I totally object to this proposal. As has been seen elsewhere traveller sites appear to grow without any real control and a this is such an 'open' site I beleive it would soon become a lot bigger than the proposal. I believe Rayleigh would be overrun with the traveller community and would not be such a nice place to live. From experience of the sites near Basildon, I believe there would be an increase in crime and anti social behaviour and there would be little the Police or Council could/would do to control these people.

I have live in Rayleigh all my life but if this proposal was to go ahead I would strongly consider moving away from the area.
