I am opposed to this scheme as it will require the destruction of local countryside and will lead to increased volumes of traffic through the Peak District National Park. We should be aiming to reduce overall traffic volumes, not just to reduce carbon emissions but to achieve wider sustainability and avert the Climate Emergency. It is a simple fact that building more roads leads to more traffic which will have a detrimental effect on the environments which the roads pass through, as well as the contributing to global warming. In particular the Peak District National Park should be protected at all costs.
