Gypsy, Traveller and Travelling Showpeople Development Plan Document

Disagree

I wish to lodge an objection to the proposed Gypsy & Traveller Plan site at the Lodge, Water Lane, Bearsted / Thurnham. Water Lane is particularly narrow and has no footpaths of any description on either side of the carriage way. The railway bridge is also narrow and a bottleneck when the frequent large horseboxes travel up and down to Cobham Manor stables, any extra traffic such as vans and lorries would only add to this problem, also putting pedestrian traffic in the unlit lane at danger. Access to the proposed site from the north would be even more problematic. Please remember the tragic accident on the next carriageway along to the west, Thurnham Lane last year when two pedistrians were killed outright by a speeding motorist.
