I am very concerened that the scheme as proposed will: 1) do nothing for Tintwistle, where residents are desperate for some relief from traffic and pollution 2)increase traffic through Glossop and on the Snake Pass, causing more pollution and probably more accidents 3) cost £180 million which will not be money well spent These funds could be much better invested in improving public transport and making safe routes for walking and cycling throughout the High Peak. Heavy lorries could be banned from travelling through the area which would greatly help Hollingworth and Tintwistle. Road building is incompatible with our environmental commitments, and especially so when the road proposed will be beneficial to so few local residents.
