I wish to register my opposition to the A57 Link Road. This proposal will not ease traffic congestion and is likely to increase it as more traffic will be descending on this already congested area. I live on the main road in Tintwistle and the quality of my enjoyment of this village is blighted by the fact I can hardly get across the road to my parked car. The traffic is relentless and at time it almost feels like we're under siege when traffic regularly builds up from Mottram traffic lights way backed up past my house and hardly moving. The spell of burning rubber, the continuous thundering past of huge lorries which quite frankly shake the very foundations of my cottage. I've lived here over 6 years and I believe the only solution is to build a bypass around Tintwistle or stop the heavy vehicles using this road altogether- maybe stopping the M62 turnoff altogether for heavy vehicles. Thank you for listening. Maxine Pigram.
