Glossop is a lovely town but the feeder roads into it are blocked by traffic going from Sheffield to Manchester over the Woodhead pass, especially HGV lorries which should not be allowed. ( they should be directed to the M62) Anyone living in Tintwistle, Hollingworth or Mottram are hounded each day by heavy traffic which should be directed via nearby fields and unpopulated areas. All [redacted] did their GCSE geography field study on local traffic. Bearing in mind - [redacted] this bypass is long overdue and very much needed. It needs sorting now. The Longdendale/Mottram bypass has been on the agenda for over 30 years as it is a much needed action. Still it is being opposed by people who do not live in the area, have probably never been to the area and therefore do not know how much traffic and the effects of it has on local residents. The time has come to listen and act upon the wishes of the people in this area.
