We desperately need the bypass for the people of Glossop. The traffic is heavily congested getting in and out of Glossop and it’s causes lots of problems for the local people getting to work and keeping their jobs. Even just accessing the facilities within the town is becoming a major problem and causes lots of stress. We have even considered moving out of Glossop after only living here for 2 and a half years - that’s how badly it affects you. The bypass is needed desperately for the residents of Glossop. We are the ones sat in long lines of traffic queues day in and day out when we are trying to go about our daily business, whether that be to work or to pick up grandchildren from school, to give care to our elderly parents etc. The length of time it takes to get out of Glossop and up Mottram Moor is just ridiculous - I’m even thinking of moving out it’s that bad!
