This will increase the level of traffic will have a detrimental effect within the small villages surrounding the proposed site. The infrastructure around, elmsthorpe, stoney Stanton, sapcote, Croft, Huncote, Narbrough and other various villages will increase the traffic thru them along with with the increase of speeding thru the village. Many villages around the proposed site are already struggling with issues of traffic and safety. This will just add more to the already fragile and almost completely broken roads already. This will increase traffic which will increase accidents and other communing issues. Some roads go past schools and that will increase potential incidents.
