I strongly support this programme, TR010034, a57 Link Roads. As a new resident of Glossop who travels frequently on the M6/M5 for business, I have been dismayed at the almost constant traffic backlog from Glossop Hight Street, through Whaley Bridge and up to the A67 roundabout. This bottleneck must cost thousands of hours in wasted time every day, not to mention the extra pollution caused by idling vehicles sitting in stationary traffic. This improvement scheme is vital both for business/ commerce and for the health and peace of mind of people living along the current almost permanently blocked "artery".
