Mottram-Tintwistle bypass proposal – Peak District National Park
A significant transport threat to the Peak District National Park is from a proposed Mottram-Tintwistle bypass in the, which, if it were to proceed, would damage the Park’s landscape and create more traffic problems than those it is seeking to solve. Alternatives to this disastrous scheme have not been fully investigated.
Please ask your MP to sign an Early Day Motion, EDM 459, which calls for the Woodhead Tunnel to be protected for potential future use as one viable alternative to this road scheme.

Sign a petition against Llanbedr airport
The Snowdonia Society and CNP are concerned about plans to open an commercial airport near Harlech in the Snowdonia National Park. Please sign the following public e-petition on the National Assembly website:
"We call upon the National Assembly for Wales to note with concern plans to create a centre of commercial aviation in the Snowdonia National Park. This is contrary to the statutory purposes for which National Parks were created. We believe there needs to be a full public examination of all aspects of this proposal"
