I do not believe that this link road will provide any immediate or long term benefit to either the road users or the residents of Mottram as it will not reduce the volume of traffic that use the A628 which is a major contributor to the volume of traffic on Mottram moor…. The loss of habitat the creation of two additional bottlenecks , at both roundabouts, will increase air pollution, not solve it . It will not reduce traffic use in Hollingworth or Tintwistle, in fact Govt data has modelled an increase in volume of traffic and as such, is environmentally damming and will affect the air quality for the villages ,place more pressure on already at capacity local networks.
