For many decades, the traffic congestion getting in and out of Glossop has been horrendous, and is getting worse, year on year. Much needed homes are being built in the area, but with them of course brings additional population, only adding to the traffic problems. At times a simple 4.5 mile journey from Glossop to Stalybridge can take between 40 minutes to an hour. To get to the M67 to access the wider motorway network (a 3 mile journey) can also take 40-50 minutes. The resultant time loss, petrol wastage, damage to the air quality plus the basic stress it places on everyone stuck in perpetual traffic jams is horrendous. This is to say nothing about the constant traffic flow outside people's homes in Hollingworth and Mottram, making their life intolerable. We've needed this bypass for decades, let's get it built NOW.
