The local plan does not support the development of Lutterworth Town Centre as there is no provision for the addition of a major A road by-pass of the A426 around Lutterworth. Currently the amenity retail area of the town is not a pleasant area to visit due to the heavy goods traffic along the A426. Without a major review of the road infrastructure, Lutterworth Town centre will become moribund and run down requiring people to travel to Rugby or Market Harborough for non-food shopping or becoming more reliant on the internet for discretionary purchases.
