ROAR

R.O.A.R. is a residents' Action Group set up in order to represent the best interests of people living in the villages surrounding Egginton Common, the proposed site for a railhead and associated warehousing development. The land is owned by Severn Trent Water..
This possible industrial development, on one of the largest Greenfield sites in rural South Derbyshire, is huge. It could have a massive impact on our area and the quality of life for all residents in surrounding communities. The total proposed development of large-scale warehouses and a railhead could initially cover around 400 acres, centred on the north and west of the railway line.
