All the Rural area between three villages and abutting an ancient woodland will be covered by this planned project with catastrophic effects on wildlife and loss of amenity for people. Rail travel, Birmingham to Leicester and beyond, already poor will be overwhelmed by freight. Delivery of freight by hundreds of lorries to terminal will create noise and permanent congestion to an area where roads already cannot cope. Incidents on M1 and M6 frequently cause gridlock along the whole length of M69, effects of which overspill into the town of Hinckley. 24hr Light pollution has deleterious effects on residents and creatures. This devastation of an area and complete change from rural to urban should not be decided by people in Bristol who have no knowledge or concern for where we live.
