Access to Greater Manchester and the motorway network west of Glossop is currently hindered by a severe bottleneck along the A57 particularly from Dinting to Mottram. This is further exacerbated where the A628 and the A57 converge. This situation will only intensify through time making the journey even more intolerable. On occasions when there is an incident on the M62 heavy traffic will invariably use the A638. This leads to utter chaos particularly at peak times. This situation is totally unacceptable and the good citizen’s of High Peak together with vehicles crossing the Pennines should not have to put up poor strategic planning and a failure of successive governments to invest in the infrastructure. There is a genuine need to resolve this issue and those with influence must do their part in pursuing a positive result promptly.
