Gypsy, Traveller and Travelling Showpeople Development Plan Document

Disagree

I am writing to voice both my concern and objection to the proposed site in Bearsted The area is currently overwhelmed already with traffic issues namely unable to cope with the volume of traffic from new developments over the last few years and the lack of infrastructure to cope with it. The outlying areas around Bearsted have generated extra traffic from new estates that have resulted in increased traffic through the village on top of which with constant closures of the M20 as a result of Brock or accidents already makes Bearsted roads barely able to cope. I gave lived in Bearsted for over 20 years and have witnessed the decay of village roads and the constant need to close or partially close various roads as a result of utilities needs. Our GP surgeries are overwhelmed already and struggle to cope with their client base. As I write this parts of Water Lane are yet again flooded and access to and from certain parts are denied. This is nothing new and has existed for years. I therefore reiterate my objection as a result of the above together with expected anti social behaviour that has tended to follow such developments.
