While there would be employment opportunities for local residents if the proposal to double the size of Magna Park were to go ahead, take-up would be very limited, as unemployment in the Lutterworth area is very low and in the district it is the 2nd lowest in the county (see HEDNA final report, January 2017). It would not significantly reduce out-commuting of people holding skilled jobs as there are relatively few such jobs in warehousing. Uptake of jobs would be largely by people commuting longer distances to Magna Park from areas with higher unemployment and lower house prices (see HEDNA report above), but as unemployment continues to fall, recruitment of warehousing staff may be a problem. Anecdotally, employment agencies locally tell us it already is. Jobs should be created, as far as possible, where the unemployed are, rather than encourage large numbers to commute (overwhelmingly by private car as public transport is so inadequate) with resulting congestion and pollution. This part of the plan too fails the test of soundness as the strategy is not the most effective strategy to achieve the council's aim to reduce out-commuting
