My concern is the lack of any action to relieve the village of Tintwistle 0f the burden of very heavy traffic at all times, day and night. The village, for years, has been ignored in respect of the impact traffic has imposed on it. The A628 passes through the village and it is normal now to see convoys of very large lorries pounding through at all times, day and night at speeds well in excess of the 30mph speed limit. What makes this worse is the absence of a pavement on the westbound side of the road, with front doors of houses opening directly onto the road. where there is a pavement, it is far too narrow for people to walk safely. this makes bus stops difficult to access without crossing the road. The situation is made far worse when the M1, M62, and M6 have difficulties and even more traffic is imposed upon our village. In addition the resulting air pollution increases to very high levels which are a danger to health. Please give some consideration to the welfare of our villagers, many of whom are of less than tender years. Thankyou, Tom Hughes
