I've been through a lot of recruitment calls for jobs from Manchester and further and everybody who I speak to(even someone I met in London) know Mottram Moore. It's a joke that the motorway ends at our town and then tries to push an entire motorways worth of traffic down one road. I'll do an hour commute with no traffic or a bit of traffic which is slow moving and as soon as I get back into the Hattersley area everything stops. Trying to get a career at 30 years old and having to turn down opportunities or ask for flexible hours so I can miss sitting in Hadfield and Mottram traffic is embarrassing. I've sat in traffic for 20 minutes or longer just to get to the motorway, it's ridiculous and the motorway is only a 2 mile distance from where I live. On top of the traffic everybody at the top of Mottram pushes in rather than waiting in the queue which makes it dangerous and even longer to get up. We're building more houses constantly around Glossop and Hadfield with no infrastructure and this is what happens. I daren't even go near Tintwistle as that is a guaranteed sea of cars so I only have one way out of Hadfield and that's the 20 minutes to go 2 miles for me just to get out of the town nevermind the actual journey time.
