This has dragged on for years. The traffic issues have worsened as more and more housing is thrown up in and around Glossop. The situation is simply ridiculous as the population soars while infrastructure stagnates. It's not simply local traffic, it's not simply commuter traffic, it's not simply trunk traffic between Manchester and Sheffield, it's not tourist traffic for the Peak District. It's all of it. The case for better M60/M67/A57 traffic management is decades old. Technically, 50 years old. Yet we still have nothing in place as fiscal foot dragging and filibuster continue to perpetuate the procrastination. Traffic has overwhelmed Mottram/Hollingworth and Glossop and left us with increasing frequency and duration of jams and declining air quality as queues of internal combustion engines idle away wastefully adding to carbon emissions. DO SOMETHING or admit that nothing will happen. Don't patronise the residents affected with more psychobabble. Build it or don't but make a decision
