My concerns about the proposal of the A57 Link Roads are, this will bring more traffic into the area. This will create more standing traffic in Tintwistle, making it even harder and more dangerous to exit New Road onto the A628 . This will also create more pollution within the area along with the smell of over heated breaks. Regards to Glossop this proposal will increase the grid lock within the Town especially in the rush hours of the day, creating more pollution. My proposal is to prevent HGV from using the A57 also the A628 as a short cut , or a scenic rout to and from the M1. My view all through HGVs should be made to use the existing Motorways ie M62 — M1.
