There is a high volume of traffic coming to and from the M67 heading to the Snake Pass and the Woodhead Pass to cross the Pennines to Sheffield, passing through the small villages of Hollingworth and Tintwistle, and also the town of Glossop. The pollution levels from the heavy goods vehicles are dreadfully high as there are often holdups to the traffic in the village and on Mottram Moor. The road through the village is not capable of handling heavy traffic and congestion is the norm at all times of day. During lockdown there was a noticeable improvement to pollution and noise levels because of the reduction in traffic which suggests the Bypass would be effective on bringing about similar improvements. The bypass is a necessity for residents and commuters in the whole area.
