I have been completing surveys such as this since 1981 when I moved to Tintwistle ie forty years ago. At that time the local residents had been agitating for a proper bypass for some years. Whenever we seemed to be getting anywhere we were always thwarted by the Peak Planning Authority and others on the grounds of how it would affect the fauna and flora of the Moors. These objections could have been overcome by tunnels or viaducts such as at Conway etc. The only encouraging part of this plan is the possibility of controlling the HGVs by regulations re carbon emissions. Against the expense and damage to the environment that is the unstoppable juggernaut of the HS2, our little bypass is a skateboard. We need better West/East communications not North/South. What happened to "evening up"?
