Having lived on the area for most of my life and on the A57 for 30 years of that, I have seen an enormous increase in the amount of traffic passing through small villages and causing tremendous traffic jams and often queues miles long. This leads to difficult journeys for local people tryng to get to work etc. and also high pollution with standing traffic - especially from the many trucks and lorries that use the route. There are many cottages that are along the route that have only a small footpath between the house and the traffic. The bypass has been promised for over 50 years and it is now essential and should go ahead without further delay.
