I believe the proposed road scheme will increase traffic rather than decrease it and will contribute to higher carbon emissions at a time when carbon emissions need to be cut drastically. Increased traffic at faster speeds will also increase accidents.The scheme will do little to reduce journey times, little to reduce air pollution and nothing to improve the quality of life for the vast majority of Glossopdale residents. Construction will cause massive inconvenience for many years, with little or no long term benefit. The tens of millions of pounds which the scheme will cost would be much better spent on improving public transport, including replacing diesel powered buses with electric or hydrogen powered buses. Pedestrian and cycle routes could be greatly enhanced
