I was brought up in Hattersley and Hollingworth and we have been waiting for a bypass for over 50 years! I know all the rat runs because I drive into Manchester most days and the Mottram Roundabout is the worst roundabout anywhere. This bypass needs to happen. If anyone is unsure about the bypass I suggest they drive from Glossop up the Moor and to the motorway and from the motorway to Glossop and you’ll see how bad it is. That’s why people use the rat run through Broadbottom to Charlesworth and past Gamesley. They also cut through Hatterlsey to Mottram causing a huge backlog of cars. The M57 is now as bad as Hyde Road used to be before they built the motorway- this bypass needs to be built ASAP - 50 years is a long time to wait, don’t let us wait another 50 years!
