Traffic through Mottram is very slow in both directions caused mainly by traffic through the traffic lights in the centre especially vehicles turning right. This must also cause high levels of air pollution for those living along the affected roads. When travelling through Mottram it is very difficult and unpredictable meaning you have allow extra time. From my house it can take 10 minutes to reach the M60 but last week it took 40 minutes (in the middle of the day - not even at rush hour). Ideally the by pass should include Tintwistle but at least the Mottram by pass is a start.
