Preferred Site Allocations 2018

Representation ID: 22153

Received: 22/06/2018

Respondent: William Isaacs

Representation Summary:

Dear Sir, I think it most inappropriate to allocate traveller sites in West Horndon. Many people feel threatened and intimidated by travellers and if the only pub in West Horndon is frequented by the travellers it could become a no go area to the rest of the villagers. The pub is a social centre of the village and is therefore very important to the residents. A change could mean the pub having to close, an outcome which nobody wants. Please think long and hard before making decisions that may have serious lasting effects.
kind regards, William Isaacs.
