hello, well if nothing is done soon the traffic will be at gridlock and no one will be going anywhere! the amount of house building in glossp and the surrounding area is going to make the traffic worse! the godley green development is going to make 2,500 houses that's at least another 2,500 cars! woolly bridge is a major bottleneck. the one problem i have is that this project will not reduce congestion! the only thing that will is the opening of the woodhead tunnel for trains to sheffield. as yet this is not even on the cards, i did tell them this at the consultation but as yet there are no plans to reopen woodhead. this was closed by Beaching due to a bypass being built! yes! we have waited that long! I see this as a first stage, then there should be a major effort to reopen woodhead. i do not have a car if i need to go to sheffield i have to get a train from hattersley to manchester piccadilly!!!! how bonkers is that!!!!!! best neil:-)
