I live in Had field it is ridiculous the amount of heavy traffic on this residential road There are primary schools at the top and bottom of the road how a child has not been killed is a miracle .When lorries come up the road it affects the stability of the houses all of which are over 100 years old this heavy traffic can cause subsidence who will the pay . In the winter months heavy lorries have parked up because they could not get up into Woodhead they take no notice of the closed signs. We all need this bypass whether you live in Had field ,Padfield or Hollingworth we are villages not meant for heavy traffic Please allow this bypass the heavy traffic is affecting all of the villages Hollingworth.Padfield, Had field Tintwistle this is a rural area which is spoiled by the pollution from the amount of heavy traffic there is also a safety issue heavy traffic in areas where children are mobilising to and from school . The heavy traffic also causes subsidence issues who do the householders claim against the numerous haulage companies or the government for allowing heavy traffic to traffic through residential areas. The health issues caused by pollutants from the diesel fuel .We need this bypass .
