I believe they should implement a cross pennine ban on HGV's across the A628 route and A57 routes, local deliveries only. This could be Policed by anpr cameras with speed and safety measures for the villages to discourage through traffic. I am against this bypass in its current form. It will only move the problem traffic queues to other areas. I sit in queues every morning and evening in this area. I believe it is badly designed. There are too many roundabouts therefore areas for traffic to build up. The A628 should run round the back of Tintwistle and Hollingworth straight onto the M67 with no roundabouts or connecting roads. Local traffic stays the same as now. Of course the most cost effective solution is a HGV ban and speed restrictions for through traffic.
