I am totally against this Development because it is on a Greenfield site, will endanger Burbage Common, will be a blot on the Landscape and despite assurances that there will be no increase in local traffic experience has shown this is not true. The 800 workers will not be employed locally and will have to be from other areas. Not all these workers will use the M69 to get to the site and will use local roads such as The B4114 and the road through Sapcote. The increase in rail traffic will affect the Level Crossing in Narbrough causing more delays for local traffic. The goods delivered to the site will delivered by road by Lorries and not all will use the M69. They will use link road to the A47 which will cause yet more traffic to Leicester and Hinckley. They could also use the road through Sapcote to the B4115 which is a very busy road at the best of times and even worst when there are accidents on A5 or M69. THERE ARE MORE suitable sites for this Terminal else where such as The Power Station Site at Ratcliffe on Soar which is due to close soon and is close to M1, A42 A50 and the new Freeport
