The new jobs being created by the plans to massively expand Magna Park would NOT, in actuality, be materially taken up by people who live within the Harborough District, which has extremely low levels of unemployment of < 0.4%.
The majority of people working at the existing Magna Park do NOT reside in this district.
They travel, often long distances, often by car, in to work. Most of these jobs are paying relatively low wages.
This section presumes the new jobs could be taken up by local people. This is an erroneous assumption and it's very far from the truth.
