People come in with written letters. The system should not judge by volume but by the validity of the objection. We know this because sociological studies prove this. It is an absolute fact there is a prejudice against Travellers. These are objective studies. Presumably, many of those did not make valid planning points about accommodation that would overrule this absolutely urgent need for decent accommodation for the Traveller community, which impedes education, lifestyle choices and everything into the future.
