I have lived in the Lutterworth area since 1969. In particular Ullesthorpe, Bitteswell, Lutterworth (Saxon Fields) and Cotesbach. During this time Magna Park has been built on the present site. Clearly during a period of 48 years it would be expected to see an increase of normal car traffic. However the lorry traffic both day and night is now at an alarmingly high level. From my house looking onto the A426 Lutterworth to Rugby road there are at least 2 days each week when the road is blocked. This means having to delay or cancel often vital local appointments for myself and my wife as pensioners.
