As a resident impacted by the traffic issues in Mottram I am registering as an interested party. I have suffered significantly for many years from the lack of a bypass and it's not secret that this is a major issue that is only getting worse, especially with the ongoing increase in house and therefore traffic in the area. Not only does this cause the obvious problem of trouble getting in and out of the area, I believe we have to consider the financial impact on area, people don't like to travel into the area due to the traffic and therefore this impacts local business, and potentially the value of homes. There is also the issue of health and how so much pollution standing and stop/start traffic causes in the immediate area. I strongly believe that a bypass is well overdue and needs to be built asap to resolve this issue which will never improve and only get worse without a bypass.
