It is vital that this road be built to start the relief of congestion in the Glossop area. This road has been needed for decades. You can travel all over the country but you can guarantee that as soon as you get back to Glossop you have to queue. We spend our lives planning what time to travel to avoid the worst of the queues. The requirement to build more and more houses in the area is only exacerbating the problem. To cancel the building of this road AGAIN would be a tragedy for the people of Glossop This bypass has been needed for decades. We have plan travelling out of Glossop around the time that the queues will be at a minimum. You can travel from anywhere in the country without major delay, there may be queues de to accidents, road works but the one thing you can guarantee is that as soon as you get to Glossop you will hit a long slow queue. Bypasses have been built all over the country (many in places that did not deserve one as much as Glossop. Please finally GET THIS BUILT and the second phase around Hollinsworth and Tintwistle
