Traffic congestion in the villages of Mottram, Hollingworth and Tintwistle is a considerable health hazard. That a solution has dragged on for more than 40 years is a disgrace. With regard to the health hazards it is clearly approaching the time when somebody must be held to account and legal action seriously considered. The economical considerations caused by delays are also important and the promise to level up appears to be a hollow promise. If these problems occurred in more affluent areas they would have been dealt with 30 years ago. I strongly support the proposed A 57 road links upgrade. Traffic congestion a nd the resulting pollution is quite unacceptable. Ongoing delays are an insult. Further delays should not be allowed - 50 years of delay is a lifetime.
