The developer behind a planned £750m rail freight hub in the west Leicestershire countryside says the scheme will provide many benefits to the area.
Management at Tritax Symmetry said they believe the 440 acre development, on green fields just east of Hinckley, will take HGVs off the roads and create thousands of jobs.
They also said the scheme would represent £750 million of private investment into Leicestershire including £70 million in local infrastructure. A previous figure of £550 million was put on the scheme.
