There are several warehouses that are empty at Magna Park. There isn't strong evidence that additional warehousing, of such large proportions, is necessary. There are very low levels on unemployment in the local area - less than 1.6%. This will mean that employees will have to commute to MagnaPark, increasing traffic and pollution, on less than adequate roads. If employees move into the area this will impact on our current infrastructure which is already under pressure from increasing population, especially housing, GP practices and dentists etc. This will also impact on our greenspace.
