For many years l have used the A57 through Glossop and Mottram to access the western motorway network. At any time of the day there is congestion starting at Woolley Bridge extending up Woolley Lane, onto Mottram Moor to the traffic lights at the junction where the A57 crosses the B6174. Not only is there congestion on my route but also on Market Street through Hollingsworth for traffic coming from the via the Woodhead Pass. Every time I make this journey I feel sorry for the local residents, pollution from vehicle exhausts, brake dust and noise. I can live with holdups, they are everywhere but the local residents should not have to put up with this in their daily lives when there is an alternative, and that is a bypass. I find it hard to believe that there are groups that object to local residents, many who will have young families due to a lot of the properties being suitable for first time buyers having a better quality of life. I accept that any major construction work will cause some disruption but this is how you get to an end result. Do the objectors have a better plan?
