The proposals would make a significant difference for the residents of the local area. The Mottram Moor to A57 link Road will provide a much needed extra 'exit' route from the glossop/hadfield area. Currently the main routes out of glossop towards Manchester (broadbottom, wooley bridge and Tintwistle) are all over narrow stone bridges which were not built to accommodate the volumes and sizes of vehicles they currently take. Route options are also far better for the emergency services in the area. All it takes is one accident on wooley bridge and the residents of the Hadfield road area cannot leave in their cars for hours because of stationary queuing traffic. The traffic in this area has been noticeably increasing over the last few years and this is now jot a rare event, so any effort to relieve this is welcomed. The section coming off the M67 roundabout would improve the dire situation we currently have with the frequent near misses on the roundabout with cars pushing into each other, and blocking the traffic flow for the other exits. The safety of the residents of Mottram would benefit from a the diverted traffic, currently trying to cross the A57 with the high volumes of traffic, speed (when its not in total gridlock) and the few crossing places is incredibly difficult.
