There have been hundreds of houses built in the Glossop area with many more being built. most of the roads were built in Victorian times if not before, and cannot cope with the level of traffic. The road through Glossop is used by people travelling to and from Sheffield and Buxton and elsewhere making their way to the motorway, as well as by local people. There is a good railway link to Manchester Piccadilly, but many people work a distance from any of the railway stations. There is no alternative but to use a car if you have to go to work. I am from a Glossop family and have seen the mills close and Glossop become a commuter town. I doubt however that pollution levels have gone down much, just that the soot has been replaced by the exhaust fumes of cars sitting in long traffic jams. We have been promised and deserve this new road.
