RE the suggested travellers’ site in Grange Road, Christchurch. I am completely at a loss to understand the thinking behind this suggestion.
Who, with any modicum of common sense, would propose a site that is (a) in a residential cul-de-sac (b) already occupied by a council depot and several successful local small businesses and (c) backs onto a nature reserve (i.e. would be prime for another Dale Farm type expansion)?
Especially when, just around the corner in Somerford Road, there is a large brown-field site (next to the old Allied Carpets building), with no impact on existing residential properties and which has been standing empty for at least the last 5 years.Whatever are these consultants thinking?
