| | UK Indymedia - Road Alert: New Road Building Proposed for the Peak District (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-04) |
 | | The road building plans, as they stand at the moment, threaten the unique landscape around this area, more specifically the beautiful Longdendale valley, the nature reserve of Swallow's Woods, open moorland, and as some have argued, ultimately the whole of the northern Peak District by laying the groundwork a future major M1/M67 link road. |
 | | The campaign group in favour of the by-pass, strangely called the 'Siege Committee', argue that the bypass is needed to alleviate the heavy traffic thundering west through the villages from the M1 to the M67. |
 | | The new road is essentially needed to separate out traffic, particularly the 40 tonne lorries, from the streets used by local residents. |
