I support the Mottram bypass and Glossop spur road planning application, because for far too long the area has been choked by traffic nearly all day long every day. The current road network into Glossop is simply not fit for purpose with the amount of traffic using the roads - the current 3 lane motorway rapidly reducing to a single carriageway at Mottram roundabout with traffic lights at the crossroads shortly afterwards, is absurd. With the increasing number of houses been built in the Glossop area now and no doubt in the future, it would seem ridiculous not to build the infrastructure to go with it. Obviously there is also significant pollution caused by slow moving traffic and even though a relatively small amount of countryside would be damaged by the building of the bypass, I feel the benefits would outway any damage.
