I am a lifelong resident of Glossop (85 years). I am aware that a Bypass has been necessary since 1960which was the year I found myself queuing daily on Mottram Moor to get to work. I believe that if a Bypass had been mooted then it would have been widely approved as an essential benefit to motorists and others. Since those far off days massive increase in car ownership plus the constant building of new houses means that Glossop has become gridlocked much of the time. Planning any journey requires one to allow double the time 'just in case'. I find it hard to believe that anyone who is in the unenviable position of travelling daily in the Manchester direction would not see the Bypass as a vital improvement.
