Gypsy, Traveller and Travelling Showpeople Development Plan Document

Strongly disagree

I am writing to formally object to the proposed plan for a Gypsy/Traveller site off Water Lane in Bearsted. My objections are based on several significant concerns: Firstly, Bearsted is already experiencing severe overcrowding, with roads that have remained unchanged for the last century. This infrastructure is not equipped to handle additional traffic. Secondly, the access route from Water Lane to Roundwell frequently floods, and the sight lines are inadequate for the increasing volume of traffic, which is becoming intolerable. Furthermore, the local schools and medical facilities are already under immense pressure and struggling to cope with the current demand. The addition of a new site will only exacerbate these issues. Lastly, areas such as Roseacre and Madginford are already heavily congested with cars during school drop-off and pick-up times, making them virtually impassable. For these reasons, I strongly oppose the proposed development.
