I have lived in Hadfield and worked in Manchester for 35 years. For all this time Mottram Moor has been a total bottleneck and log jam of traffic. As it constitutes a major road link between Manchester, Sheffield, Leeds, Rotherham and on into Humberside I cannot understand why this distressed arterial link was not given a bypass long before now. Over the period many new housing developments in the Glossop area have been built and this continues to be the case today. Sadly such developments have not been accompanies by infrastructure improvements that would allow free flow of traffic and or divert it away from urbanised areas. As I understand it full development of the bypass would improve the free flow of traffic, reduce congestion, improve the environment, reduce the risk of pedestrian injury, improve the local economy and the well being of everyone who has to travel along Mottram Moor.
