Please consider the fact that this bypass was first actioned fifty years ago. Had the bypass been constructed then at a much reduced cost we could of had the original plan which would’ve bypassed the three villages of Mottram Hollingworth and Tintwistle. Please let us learn from past failings and proceed with this application. With Mottram Moore the heaviest trunk route in the country we need it from the carbon emissions alone. I have walked up the Moore at a quieter part of the day and you can still taste the emissions from the HGVs. The fact that you can spend thirty minutes trundling up the Moore means so much traffic uses the rat run through Broadbottom. This traffic uses the very narrow bridge over the Etherow. A bridge designed and built for horse and cart traffic not twenty first century traffic. Please don’t let onto the back burner again we need it.
