I lived in Glossop for 20years and the road infrastructure was outrageous. Back Moor was constantly blocked and I would travel through Hattersley, Gamesley and Charlesworth to get to and from my home in Glossop to my work in Tameside. Having left Glossop 4 years ago but still need to access that area the situation is even worse now due to the large amount of new housing being built. Glossop high street is jammed daily with the volume of traffic(cars, vans, trucks) etc aiming to get over the Snake Pass. It needs sorting now!!!!! When I lived in Glossop 4 years ago my ability to access my teaching post in Tameside was a daily nightmare with the volume of traffic getting in and out of the town. I had to regularly take the longer route to and from work through Hattersley, Broadbottom and Charlesworth, which equally became congested, particularly on Long Lane, Charlesworth. Even to access the shops from Tesco at one end of the High Street down to my home near Manor Park was a nightmare with the volume of traffic blocking the High Street. This was not just people going about their daily lives but the encumbrance of huge trucks and lorries, blocking the High Street aiming to go over the Snake pass or coming from off the Snake Pass. With the huge amount of building now going on in Glossop and only the one main route through the town, the traffic problem is even more exacerbated.
