-noisy traffic with lorries shaking the house as they pass. -traffic sitting in a queue giving off fumes which are no good for people's health. Some days it hangs in the air and is awful. - queuing to get anywhere and if there is an accident or breakdown, gridlock and everything comes to a standstill. - people becoming impatient and shooting through red lights and dangerously overtaking on the crossing outside the Hollingworth primary school. I [redacted] have a near miss with a vehicle at least once a week when someone sees the gun Inn lights on green and put the foot down failing to see the red light on the crossing. This puts people's lives in danger especially children crossing for school. -the road isn't built for all this traffic and there has/are more houses being built at Tintwistle, Hollingworth (on the organ pub site) and on the way to Glossop. You can't allow all these new houses and not put the infrastructure in to cope with all the extra cars
