I was born & raised in this area. Had various houses in & around mottram etc. Since moved out of the area around 10 years ago (albeit not too far), & the realisation of how much the traffic, morning & evening, affected me mentally, was crazy! Never thought much about it previously, but it was like a cloud had lifted, once I moved away, & started using other routes to/from home to work. This bypass is needed & has been needed for far too long. I grew up in [redacted]. I went to school in glossop. I bought my 1st house in mottram then moved to charlesworth myself. I grew up with the horrendous traffic issues & we all basically accepted it, (which is wrong). Since moving away from the area, albeit not too far, I can really see the silent damage it does to peoples lives, eg. Mental health, queuing every morning & night. Not shopping or using facilities in glossop as it’s easier & less stressful to go to other local towns Zloke Marple, Hyde, New Mills
