As a Glossop resident, I think that the proposed A57 Link Roads scheme should not go ahead. The resins for this are, in summary: 1) it will lead to more traffic in the area overall; 2) it will lead to an increase in CO2 emissions, when as a country we urgently need to reduce these emissions to net zero; 3) it will cause an increase in air pollution overall in the local area; 4) it will lead to further loss of valuable natural habitat, and further depletion of wildlife and loss of biodiversity in the local area; 5) it is likely to cause further damage to the Peak District National Park.
