Save Swallow's Wood is a campaign group set up to oppose the proposed Mottram-Tintwistle Bypass. The proposed scheme would bypass the villages of Mottram, Tintwistle and Hollingworth in Cheshire and Derbyshire, with a 5.6km road that would link the M67 to the A628 Woodhead Pass.
Campaigners are calling for rail-freight alternatives and a weight restriction combined with improved public transport measures to restrict the movement of HGVs through the National Park and reduce congestion caused by local commuter traffic.
