I oppose the development of the Mottram bypass and find the proposal to be an affront to any environmentally conscientious individual. At a time when climate change is commanding the government's attention, it is wholly inappropriate to build a new road such as this running through an area of outstanding natural beauty. The solution has to be fewer cars, not more roads. Building this bypass would further exacerbate the noise and air pollution in the area and these issues are already serious and evident for local residents. There should be a far greater emphasis on improving public transport infrastructure in the area so that people can travel freely but in a way that is consistent with environmental values and the preservation of the beautiful landscape of Derbyshire.
