Living in Tintwistle and therefore personally experiencing, almost on a daily basis, the challenges faced as a result of the increasing volumes of traffic pouring through the village, gives me endless cause for concern from the sheer difficulty of getting onto the main road to the very negative effect on our health of pollution from vehicle exhausts. In essence, when the M62 is closed (which is becoming a more commonplace event), the A628 becomes the M62. I live approximately 3 miles from the M67 roundabout to join that motorway and that journey can take up to an hour and a half. It is stressful, dangerous and needs to be resolved. Our village life in general is made hell by the lack of a suitable bypass around the village and sadly a bypass that has been "on the cards" for well over 50 years.
