No doctors' surgery in the vicinity and nearest one is full.
Difficult for children to get to school in Radford Semele as bus stop inaccessible (no footpath, having to cross busy road), no footpaths to walk/cycle. Will lead to increased car journeys and add to congestion on school run.
Can secondary schools cope with increased demand?
How much consultation has been done with the gypsy/traveller communities as to what they want?
Fosse Way extremely busy and dangerous (12 accidents in 3 years). Increasing traffic will increase the dangers.
Will not blend in with the surrounding scenery/landscape. Proposed new houses and HS2 are already putting pressure on the local landscape/character.
Site could endanger archaeological remains alongside the Fosse Way.
Proposal already affecting Exhibition Centre business and it would close if scheme goes ahead, resulting in 40 job losses and c£2m loss to local economy. How can this be seriously considered?
