i am writing because of information received that there are doubts that the long awaited Mottram bypass and Glossop spur road may not go ahead despite promises that plans are in place for this to go ahead. The traffic situation is getting worse each year due to the drastic increase of new housing in the Glossop area. Over 40 years ago it was recognized that the bypass was needed. Since then thousands of new houses have been built, and more are planned. The congestion is not only causing serious travel delays but the health of people living near the roads is of concern due to pollution from so many vehicles vehicles. The nearest hospital is at Ashton which is over 7 miles away and so journeys for patients and their visitors is more traumatic. We desperately need this to go ahead. Millions of pounds must have already gone into the planning. Yours sincerely Margaret Overson [redacted]
