The Mottram bypass and Glossop spur road are badly needed improvements to local transport infrastructure. I moved to the area 3 and a half years ago, and the congestion in the area routinely causes significant delays to journeys out of the area to Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire. The upshot is that many friends and colleagues are reluctant to visit the area, preferring to meet elsewhere to avoid the traffic jams. This costs the region in terms of tourism, to the detriment of local hospitality and retail businesses. It also makes it a less desirable place to live and settle down long-term.
