This A57 link Road is long, long overdue. The queues of traffic in both directions are appalling. How many hours are wasted by drivers and passengers sitting in the current congestion? Having commuted this route for nearly 30 years I know what I am writing about. Perhaps most at risk are those that live on the A57, inhabitants of Mottram and Hollingworth particularly. The fumes from standing traffic, especially from the thousands of lorries that use the road, must have an extremely damaging effect on the health of those living nearby. I think particularly of the children who live in close proximity to the road. May I remind you of the case of Ella Adoo-Kissi-Debrah, where traffic pollution was a material cause of death? Very busy congested roads and people should be separated whenever possible - this link road will benefit everyone.
