My major concern relates to incremental traffic flows and movements relating to the industrial and residential developments in the south and west of Lutterworth.

Your reference to the 'Golden Triangle' raises significant issues on the pre and post development road infrastructure surrounding Lutterworth. Notwithstanding the intent to build an eastern by pass around Lutterworth which will support both heavy inter-regional traffic flows on a north-south trajectory of the town but also encompass residential developments and related traffic flows in the area, It is my firm belief that there are critical infrastructural faults with existing routes (A4303, A426, and the A5). These routes are already very congested as they connect with main routes from and to the M6 (especially to and from the North). The development of Magna Park and DIRFT (together with the latter's new town devleopment) will further increase the strain on A4303, A426 and A5 which in their present state are not fit for purpose.
The loss of access to M6 north is an important traffic generator within this 'Bermuda Triangle' with regional and local industrial traffic now forces much more flows on to the A426 and A5 with poorly developed connections to M6. Before the new A14/M6/M1 junction at Catthorpe was completed, there was an alternative direct link from the M1 South to M6 North - this was severed in 2015. The infrastructure is poor and mainly single carriageway between DIRFT, Magna Park and
the M69 creating further problems.

A related point is that these key roads (A426, A4303, A5) are in the front line when there are problems on the M1 and M6 in the area (M1 junction 19-20, A14-M6 junction 1-2) which again has major negative effects on traffic around Lutterworth.

In my opinion, the developments planned should not go-ahead without the infrastructural problems of the A426, A4303 and A5 being solved.

I have been a resident in the area since 1982 and have seen at first hand the infrastructural effects of developments in the area.
