Outline:- Time, money, Pollution. road safety I am almost 60.I have lived in the area for all of my life. I lived in Tintwistle until I was 25 when I moved to Hadfield. I like living in this area. I used to work every day on the other side of Mottram Moor, I have spent a great portion of my life sat in traffic trying to get out of this valley, wasting my time, polluting the air, being a potential accident target for this impatient drivers that unwilling to join the queue at the bottom of Mottram Moor along with the others. In order to alleviate some of this time wasting and pollution I decided to change my work type and worked mostly from home. Although this is much less advantageous financially. I spend 2 hours per day less in traveling. I am able to choose when I travel if I have to go over the hill but I still spend quite an amount of time in the line of traffic. I would like to earn more money but spend less time getting there and back. Please do not stop this project I have been waiting for personally for over forty years and others much longer.
