Dear Sir / madam, With regards to the urgently needed Glossop / Mottram Bypass, as a local of the area, for the entirety of my life our local roads have been clogged and crippled by the sheer volume of trucks, Cars and various large vehicles passing through the area from Morning until evening. For well over 4 decades we have been Promised a bypass to relieve the pressures on our little country roads and local bridges, and we have been continually let down along the way. As freight and rail traffic no longer use the sadly closed Woodhead tunnel, a great number of this passes along our roads every single day, It has become sheer hell just trying to leave the area for residents who wish to travel to neighbouring Hyde or Manchester for work or leisure. Due to the increase in traffic, even the local bus depot once on York Street, Glossop could not keep to its timetabled routes, and sadly stagecoach have closed and left Glossop now, leaving us now with just 1 single bus service, having once had around 8 bus services to Manchester direct from Glossop itself. Life for people living in the Glossop, Hollingworth, Mottram, Hadfield and Tintwistle areas has become a mystery and could be greatly improved if only the traffic issues were finally addressed in 2021. Thankyou for your time and consideration. Levi Haden-Lubeck
