I object to the proposed scheme at Simister Island Interchange. Given Greater Manchester's adopted spatial plan will release more than 2,400 hectares of Green Belt for development any additional loss of greenbelt and green space (as proposed) is unacceptable. National Highways should be looking for alternative solutions to reduce demand (ie rail options) and not simply exacerbating the problems of traffic pollution by inducing more traffic (always happens) by expanding road provision. Pollution for the area's communities - densely populated-is already exceeding legal levels. Carbon emissions will vastly increase in contradiction of the stated aims of central government, Greater Manchester Authority and boroughs within it.
