Proposed Traveller Site At Market Deeping

16th July 2007, 10:45PM

Below is the content of flyers handed out before the Langtoft meeting. Answers are expected to be available on many of the questions by the 6th August.

Further to the meeting of the Town Council in Market Deeping, a group of concerned local residents have got together and will try to put the following questions to the SKDC representatives at the meeting tonight.

We also understand that we will not be allowed very long to ask these questions, and so we have kept them as concise and to the point as possible. The questions below do not cover all areas of concern and are only some initial questions that we feel need to be asked regarding the proposed site - there will be more meetings and many more questions to come. We have also arranged a public address system to be present in Langtoft so that you can hear the answers to the questions.

The questions that will be put to the SKDC & Council representatives tonight are:

  • A desk top study has been prepared outlining the other sites considered and rejected when arriving at the proposed sites. Can this study be brought into the public domain so we can understand the reasons why other sites have been rejected?
  • What criteria will be used for reducing the number of proposed sites from 15 sites to 1?
  • What assessments have been made to evaluate and nominate each proposed site?
  • The report to the cabinet (2nd July 2007) states that crime and disorder implications are "Minor". Can you explian the basis for, and the research behind this statement?
  • How do you see the Travellers site adding value to the Community?
  • Will our local schools, doctors & amenities be able to cope with a traveller's site?
  • It states that "Compulsory Land Purchase Orders" may be used. Can you explain the grounds and circumstances that these orders would be used.

We are a group of concerned residents of the Deepings who have come together to campaign against the travellers site on behalf of everyone in the Deepings and WE NEED YOUR HELP. If you have an opinion and want to get involved or can offer assistance in the campaign,you can register on our forum and make sure you register your e-mail address. Please also comment you would like to help and your e-mail address will be passed on to the campaign organisers. When registering, you can elect to "not display my e-mail address" this will prevent your e-mail address from displaying in the forum. If you indicate you would like to help we will forward your address on. If you do not clearly indicate an offer of help, your e-mail address will not be passed on.

The next meeting regarding the proposed Traveller site will be at the Deeping Leisure Centre on Friday 27th July at 7pm. Please come to this meeting to show you care.
