This project is many years overdue and desperately needed. Traffic congestion on the A57 and A628 is a constant source of delay and frustration to the residents of Glossop, Mottram and Tintwistle, not to mention the pollution hazard from the constant queues of traffic, which includes many HGVs. Please approve this scheme which this area has been waiting for for many years. I have lived in Glossop for 32 years and regularly faced the long queues of traffic which extend both ways from the M67 all the way down into Glossop town centre. The bypass has been desperately required for all the years I have lived here and it was very disappointing when the scheme was cancelled during the last Labour government. We are now closer than ever to achieving relief not only for commuters and goods drivers but for the residents who live adjacent to the current routes. Please allow this scheme to proceed
