Legally compliant? No

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

The addition of 10000 extra low skill jobs in the area will cause massive increases in commuter traffic particularly through local villages as up to 60 % of existing workers already live outside the Harborough area. The employment rate in the area is already very high and the implication that this will create high skilled jobs through training and apprenticships is a fallacy. The A5 trunk road is inadequate for the projected traffic increase.
