I am against this development as I do not believe the existing infrastructure will support the project. The M69 is extremely congested at the M1 J21 and this will increase the congestion. It will also push HGVs onto local road, where many of the villages have wight restrictions, who will be enforcing these restrictions? As the police have better things to do. As the increased workforce in the area will want housing, there is no plan to add infrastructure such as doctors, schools, shops. So that's a drive to Fosse Park, suppose that gives the government something else to tax. There is also a planned lorry park at J21 adding to problems.
