In my view the proposed A57 Link Road will do nothing to alleviate the problems in Hollingworth and Tintwistle. It is a very expensive proposal which could end up not pleasing anybody. My preferred ways to ease the problem would be through using the rail network for freight, and much better public transport (to include a station at Gamesley) helped by subsidies. Knocking ten minutes or so off a trip into or through Glossop, does nothing whatsoever to lessen the number of cars and lorries passing through, indeed it could make problems much worse for the A57 through Glossop. Emissions would get higher through sheer volume. Nothing in this proposal helps Hollingworth, Tintwistle, or parts of Hadfield. Environmentally this Link Road would be a disaster.
