Every single day I have to spend 30 minutes stuck in traffic on market street to do a ten minute drive to work. Every time I leave my home I’m stuck in traffic also all day and night all I hear is traffic a lorries rumbling down the road I live on a one way exit road but the amount of drivers that come through the wrong way just to avoid part of the traffic jam is unbelievable the traffic is that bad. The amount of vehicles that brake down on the main road due to a constant stop start is astonishing and people pushing in at the lights so they can get past some of the jam pits everyone at risk it’s not just once or twice I’ve witnessed atleast 20 cars so it at one stage where I’m stuck in traffic making the backlog even worse in the past it took me nearly 30 from tintwisle to hollingworth which I could have walked within 5 minute.
