I have lived in the Gamesley area for 52 yrs now, so have seen the changes in the amount of traffic on local roads. House building has also increased enormously, and is still increasing by the day, meaning more cars . Many families now can have 2 or 3 cars. There are only 2 ways out of Glossop, the main route, or through Broadbottom, which has 1 local bridge just wide enough for 1 vehicle. If this bridge is out of order, the main route out of Glossop comes to a standstill , if the main route has a problem or temp traffic lights, the only way out is through Broadbottom, a village with one through road. Even trying to travel to the local shops in Glossop has now become a slow moving journey, and the same on the way back. This is a hazard for ambulances or any emergency vehicle . The by pass is essential for this area especially for future generations.
