The route through Mottram is a major link between Derbyshire and Greater Manchester but constantly suffers from enormous delays because of the bottleneck on the Derbyshire side of the M67. That bottleneck not only hinders the free flow of commercial traffic, adding cost to essential journeys, but also leads to daily frustration for those who have to travel this route for work and who have to suffer very long delays. The damage to the air quality in the Mottram area because of stationary and slow-moving traffic is incalculable, putting the health and well-being of local residents, particularly children and young people at enormous risk. A By-Pass alongside improvements in the public transport infra-structure, primarily railway improvements, would go some way towards vastly improving the quality of life of many residents leading to more realistic journey times for commercial traffic and the general travelling public.
