I believe the bypass should be built as it would allow easier access in and out of glossop aka the surrounding areas. Being a parent of two disabled children results in my having to attend multiple medical appointments on a regular basis and the horrendous traffic in and around glossop leads to me and my children having to spend prolonged amounts of time stuck in traffic which as you can imagine is quite stressful for them both. This also results in them having to be out of school for a lot longer than they need to be due to having to set off early than I should have to and coming back later than I should due to slow moving traffic which has a knock on effect on their education. I also worry about if either of them has a medical emergency and I cannot get them to the hospital fast enough due to the roads being blocked with traffic, as we all know there is a shortage in ambulances so in some instances it could be faster to transport them myself if the traffic wasn’t so bad at all times of the day.
