The plans to substantially expand Magna Park would NOT increase employment opportunities for local residents.
Unemployment levels in and around the Lutterworth area are extremely low, less than 0.4%.
The wage rates for most of the promised new jobs will be relatively low.
Those who would, in actuality, take up these promised new jobs would live elsewhere condemning them to lengthy commutes.
Why not build the warehouses nearer to areas of higher unemployment where the locals would welcome them?
Surely, that's only common sense!
