This bypass has been promised to and fought by local people for the last 60 years and majority are definitely in favour of it. Funding has finally been secured and the contract signed to build it. The Mottram Bypass & Glossop Spur will reduce congestion, improve air quality and reduce journey times. It will make it much easier to get out of Glossop or Hadfield and onto the M67 and whilst there may be a slight increase in cars meaning journey times will be reduced by so much as Mottram Moor and Woolley Lane will no longer be completely gridlocked every rush hour taking on average 30minutes to travel a very short distance. I cannot understand why at this late stage that a motion opposing the Mottram Bypass & Glossop Spur Road has been lodged. I’m afraid that myself and the overwhelming majority of local people will feel utterly let down.
