I live in Hadfield, close to the A57. Like many in the Glossop area I do not want this scheme to go ahead until the Tintwistle stage is complete. A Mottram Bypass is not going to help Tintwistle, which desperately needs it. Furthermore I have several times raised the point that far from being a 'Glossop Spur', the Glossop exit is still being shown on all the maps as the main route. If this is signposted 'Glossop and Sheffield' it will funnel all the traffic into Glossop. I would like officially to contradict our MP's assertion that people who don't want the Bypass are 'professional protesters from outside the area'. I live in the area (the south end of Hadfield, a few hundred yards from the A57) and what I hear and discuss does not in any way support Mr Largan's assertion.
