As a local Councillor for Hinckley I object to the proposed rail freight terminal. Whilst it is being badged as rail freight the reality is it will lead to a large number of lorries on local roads. While some proposed road improvements would be welcome, I remain concerned that the amount of extra lorry movements caused by this development will lead to more congestion on over congested local roads. Also I believe the height of the proposed development will lead to a blighting of Burbage Common a well loved local nature feature. For these reasons I object to the plans
