The effect of an expansion of Magna Park comes with serious issues with it, which are being ignored.
Severe increase in freight traffic on all roads in the area, the A5 and on minor roads. Increased traffic means equal increase in air pollution. Any increased pollution will blight surrounding areas. There has and will continue to be extensive objection to the proposal. Therefore the Policy is not sound as there is now a total lack of democracy in it being put forward. Proposal does not follow due process and the evidence presented to support it is bias. The expansion taking place at DIRFT, just down the A5 which does have railhead is better placed to take any increase in logistics.
