Legally compliant? No

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

Local roads around Magna Park are already over-crowded. Adding more HGVs and commuters using cars will create even more bottlenecks on the A5. This increased traffic will have a negative impact on people living nearby.
I think that there is little unemployment in Lutterworth. If more jobs are created at Magna Park these would probably be low pay, low skilled jobs, like the kind on offer now. There seems to be difficulties in recruiting for these jobs meaning people are travelling from further afield, having more impact on local congestion. We need opportunities for higher skilled people who live locally.
