Since I was a child in the 1960s there has been a need for a solution to the traffic congestion into and out of Glossop along the A57. Following the many deliberations and research over the past 50 years it has been shown that something must be done. The Mottram Bypass & Glossop Spur offers a solution to try and ease congestion. It will make it much easier to get out of Glossop or Hadfield and onto the M67. It will also significantly avoid the need to seek ways round the traffic queues, for example via Gamesley and Charlesworth. Above all it will help improve and ultimately save many lives blighted by the poor air quality around the currently congested route from Hattersley into Glossop.
