I object to the proposed development of the A57 link as the proposed plan will increase the flow of traffic through Glossop thus impacting further on the level of air pollution in the valley. Additionally during the evening rush hour and at weekends when motorists are accessing the Peak District National park via Glossop, which is known as the gateway to the Peak District, the road traffic is currently tailed back from the town centre for a distance of approximately one and a half miles. The afore mentioned tailback will be extended due to the predicted increase of traffic flow through Glossop, once again increasing air pollution levels and extending travel times in the area.
