The bypass will improve local traffic and the pollution rates that come with excessive traffic. Also, transport links in and out of Glossop via road will be more reliable. Combined with the likely increase in tourism that a bypass would produce (due to tourists not being put off by the traffic) Glossop’s tourism industry will see a benefit. The bypass will also stop traffic diverting through small villages such as Charles worth and broad bottom, which in turn causes damage due to larger, heavier vehicles accessing these routes more regularly. Finally it will be safer for glossop citizens, including children, when walking or exercising along the roads. The volume of traffic and the speed at which it often travels is a severe threat to life in our community.
