Sound? No
Duty to co-operate? No
The road infrastructure south of Lutterworth on the A426 cannot cope with the existing traffic levels . Since the changes to the A14 junction this is the main route from M1 south to M6 North. This is congested every day and if there are any incidents on the M1 south of junction 20, (at least 2-3 incidents every week) this road becomes gridlocked. This also results in the village of Shawell being used as a relief road for cars. Shawell has already sent representations to Harborough district and Leics CC re the problems this is causing.
