Representation Summary:

This will not significantly increase employment, either in terms of numbers or increase to non-minimum wage roles. Residents of the Lutterworth area seeking professional roles will in the most part will still have to commute to Rugby (& London via Train), Coventry, Northampton, Leicester and Birmingham.
The road infrastructure around Lutterworth does not currently support existing traffic volumes. The plan does not address the A426 south of Lutterworth, (route from M1 south to M6 North). Since changes to A14 junction, this road is congested, and any incident on M1 south of junction 20 results in gridlock.
