Does it really make a difference if your candidate lives in the ward? In this case YES IT DOES. The villages of Misterton Ward are facing the biggest upheaval since they built the M1. What remains of Misterton itself will be engulfed by Lutterworth East. Even that won't be big enough to take the extra population that will come on the back of Magna Park's expansion.
Lutterworth and Broughton Astley welcome the new township because it will at least pause their never-ending expansion. Some residents consider an Eastern Bypass as the answer to all traffic problems in South Leicestershire. That's nonsense. Traffic has already largely disappeared from the north end of Lutterworth. The Eastern Bypass will just focus even more traffic on the M1/Whittle roundabouts - a massive problem for Walcote, Cotesbach, Shawell and even Swinford.
If you live in one of those villages you desperately need someone to speak up for your quality of life. You need a District Councillor who lives in the Ward and who shares your fears and problems.
