Andrea Leadsom says she worries the rail link may not happen and the site will become a lorry park.

An MP said she had "grave concerns" that a rail freight interchange could become "yet another lorry park" if changes to plans were approved.

Work started on the 464,515 sq m logistics park in 2021, with SEGRO stating it would be "the UK's premier destination for logistics and distribution". SEGRO notified Wootton Parish Council in August that it had made an application for a "non-material change" to the development control order for the site, and a consultation on the amendments was open until 26 September.
