Traffic is predicted to increase. More traffic means more carbon emissions, at a time when nearly everyone recognises that emissions need to be reduced dramatically, to prevent runaway climate change. More traffic also means more air pollution, and more accidents There will be no relief for Tintwistle . The proposed road doesn’t bypass the village. Heavy traffic, noise and pollution will continue to blight residents’ lives. It doesn’t have to be like this. A ban on through traffic of lorries across the Peak Park, 20s plenty, more space for pedestrians and cyclists, travel planning, and better rail and bus services would address the current situation without road building and give great value for money.
