I fully support the new link road other than to say I think it should be dual carriageway. To leave Glossop by car at present is horrendous with all the congestion around the small roundabout at Woolley Lane/Wooley Bridge and to try and get over the small bridge is mad as one large lorry blocks both lanes and cars are at a standstill until the lorry manages to straighten up. This means that often cars are just stopped and waiting minutes for the large vehicle to get over the small bridge. Cars are often backed up for a mile pass Glossop Caravans to enter the small roundabout and then it is totally congested for another mile plus until you get past the traffic lights at Mottram.
