I have lived in the area for over 40 years (Mottram and Glossop) and have a long experience of the traffic problems at the end of the M67, and before the motorway was built in travelling through Hyde and Denton on the way in to Manchester. The bypass is essential to the area:- Every year more and more houses are built in the area and traffic increases (even with a reasonable train service in to Manchester) High levels of pollution caused by very long traffic queues coming off the M67 at Mottram Time lost to all those stuck in the queue The commercial cost to businesses based in the area and travelling to the area Limits to commercial growth as business is put off by the traffic reputation of the area People having to travel out of the area for work, due to a reluctance of business to establish a base in the area due to travel time/cost resulting in limited local job opportunities A limit to the growth of the area in terms of the overall wealth of the region A promise of a bypass going back 30 - 40 years - it's about time that promise was fulfilled! K Bolton Having queued in traffic at the end of the M67 for tens of years (I’ve lived in Mottram and Glossop for 45 years), there is no doubt that the new bypass is required to ease congestion, queuing times and pollution.
