A57 Link Roads (previously known as Trans Pennine Upgrade Programme)

The new link road will provide a massive improvement to the quality of life for those living and travelling along the A57 through Mottram and Hollingworth. It would make it significantly easier and quicker to get out of Hadfield and Glossop and onto the M67. It would also improve local air quality and reduce rat running through Gamesley and Charlesworth. It would also improve the flow of north/south traffic through Mottram from/to Stalybridge and Broadbottom and beyond. These problems have been recognised for the best party of 50 years, and no other reasonable solutions have been found: it is high time that the new road is built, and I urge the committee to grant its consent.
