The local roads around Magna Park do not presently cope with the very heavy traffic volumes.
Plans to substantially increase the size of Magna Park, which is already Europe's largest distribution centre, will inevitably produce far more severe traffic congestion.
The A5 and A426 are already extremely busy leading to long traffic queues, gridlock and the inability to makes journeys in a timely fashion.
Leicestershire already has one of the highest rates of road fatalities in the country.
The present site generates thousands of lorry journeys as well as thousands of commuter cars going to and from Magna Park.
