It's far more intelligent to build warehouses nearer to those people who would actually take up the new jobs being created.
The area around Magna Park has extremely low unemployment - rates of < 0.4%.
The thousands of new jobs being promised by the Magna Park expansion plans would therefore have to be filled by people who live well outside of the area, forcing them to having lengthy commutes into the Lutterworth area; generating even more traffic congestion & pollution around Magna Park.
These needlessly lengthy commutes can only add to the dreadful air quality in and around Lutterworth.
