  1. This does not resolve the issue of traffic flowing across between Manchester and Sheffield. It simply redistributes part of it through small village communities that will suffer as a result. I live on the rat run that is Woolley Bridge Road, seeing high volumes of speeding and articulated traffic for which the road is ill equipped. This is predicated to increase and will cause misery for householders in the area who already have to queue regularly to exit their own drives. Pollution is appalling along this route and will only worsen with the current proposals. The only solution is a complete rethink and full bypass, not this rather half hearted, poorly considered compromise.
