The Mottram Bypass is very much needed due to the heavy volume of traffic that chokes up Mottram village and the surrounding area and roads - trying to get from Glossop to Stalybridge is a nightmare. The traffic problem was caused a long time ago by the construction of junction 35A on the M1 which allows the high volume of lorries to travel over Woodhead and through Mottram to get to the M67 and beyond rather than continuing to the junction of the M62 The pollution level from the number of heavy vehicles queuing on Mottram Moor is also a major environmental issue
