Gypsy, Traveller and Travelling Showpeople Development Plan Document

Nothing chosen

The Lodge, Water Lane, Bearsted (Thurnham) This has to be a joke? Hasn’t Bearsted and environs been XXXX enough in recent years - numerous developments with little or no associated improvement to infrastructure - without threatening us with this disasterous proposal. Access is abysmal. the local roads are already inadequate - Roundwell is becoming a racetrack ,especially in the event of M20 problems , which no one seems willing to address- as are doctors, dentists, schools and and and, and. What of the effect on we the residents of a settlement of travellers right on our doorsteps? 300 metres to the access but in reality the site itself very much closer immediately adjacent to the railway line; and what of the adjacent environment itself, we all know how well that is regarded and cared for by the occupiers of such developments. I understand that we are already well in excess of prescribed requirements compared with the country as a whole so let’s look to them to live up to their responsibilities without offloading yet more on good old Kent, once known as the garden of England, but now? NO,NO,NO, this has to be nipped in the bud NOW
