I am 100% opposed to this half-a-bypass proposal. It is NOT, repeat NOT, what the long suffering residents of Mottram, Hollingworth, and Tintwistle. The new High Peak Tory MP has extracted £180m from the government to build half-a-bypass which will, in Highways England, own research: * INCREASE traffic on Dinting Road, near my house, by 45% !! * it will INCREASE traffic in Brookfield by 31%, the Snake Pass by 38%, and New Road Tintwistle by 50%. This is completely and utterly unacceptable and you know it. * There will be more road accidents. * Air pollution will remain above the legal limit. * There would be increased noise for many residents. The half-a-bypass is a half-baked scheme and you know it. Scrap it now! We want a full bypass from the end of the M67 motorway directly to the east of Tintwistle - we've asked for that for 60 years.
