Magna Park employs less people per sq mt than a chip shop .
The roads are already dangerous.
No demand for warehousing.
What jobs are created is at a massive cost to our countryside.
700,000 sq mtrs. 10,000 jobs equates to one job per 70sq mtrs. The local chip shop employ more people per sq mtr.
The company Semi-Lab next to the Magna park site employs many more people per sq mtr and if probably the largest employer per sq mtr in and around Lutterworth and no roads had to be built, altered or widened. All the roads around Magna Park, particularly the A5, are covered in rubber (skid marks) the closer you get to Magna Park suggest some very "dodgy" driving and can only get worse. To lose so much countryside under concrete and tarmac is stupid and irresponsible. Magna Park has had a warehouse standing empty (186,695 sq ft) since it was built! Where then is the demand for more?
