I object to the proposed Mottram Bypass. It will do nothing to relieve traffic congestion or improve the air quality in Tintwistle or Glossop. It will simply move the existing problem elsewhere. What our local area desperately needs is improvements to public transport. And HGV drivers should be encouraged to use a different route to cross the Pennines (the M62). Better still, the government needs to implement policies to divert freight from the road network to rail.
