I write in support of the proposed Mottram Bypass scheme together with the Glossop Spur. It's essential as a means of reducing the slow queuing traffic generated by the Mottram Moor bottleneck. However, it's also essential that this is seen as the 1st phase of the project to remove the associated environmental hazards brought about by the confluence of 2 extremely busy trunk roads which meet a Motorway head-on. There must be an additional plan going forward to reroute the A628 past / away from Tintwhistle and Hollingworth . In so doing, the A628 Woodhead traffic would never meet and compete with the A57 Snake Pass /Glossop traffic, until they meet at the M67 terminal roundabout.
