I have seen the area , two large fields where the building will take place. Burbage common is an open space for families, dog walkers, horse riders to enjoy . There has been enough houses being built in Burbage , Hinckley and surrounding areas on the outskirts of Hinckley. Hinckley population has increased over the last 10 years. Not sure the numbers of increased people/ families ? There has been no extra schools built or extra General Practitioners. There is a large Amazon parcel place out side Burbage on the A5 near the hotel. The DPD parcel place on the A5 is on one the side of the railway line and my house is the other side of the railway line. During night time you can hear the lorries loading up . All the way down Strathmore road and Westfield Road , it’s like Blackpool illuminations. Light on from dusk till dawn . Has anyone thought about the wild life in and around Burbage common. The railway line will get busyer and noisier.
