I have been using this route for nearly 50 years, on and off, and I dread it. I have wasted countless hours stuck in barely moving traffic trying to get on and off the Mottram end of the M67, and then get through Glossop, or onto the Woodhead Pass. The rat runs through Charlesworth and Broadbottom are nearly as bad and are destroying those places. Mottram and Glossop need a bypass. Over the past 50 years I have been forced to endure totally unacceptable delays whilst using this route due to the volume and backlog of traffic. A total waste of petrol, time and resources. What was the point of the M57 if you queue for half an hour or more to get off it and then move forward at a snails pace on any route over the Pennines. This bypass needs to be built.
