The local plan does not provide any solution to reducing pollution from motor vehicles and heavy goods transport. Within the time frame of the plan some reduction in pollution from personal transport can be expected it is very unlikely that this will apply to heavy goods vehicles which currently blight the area around Lutterworth. This plan is an opportunity to provide the basis for significantly reducing local pollution by investment in local changes to the existing A road infrastructure around Lutterworth and planning for the re-introduction to a local rail network.
