I can not believe that the bypass is to be delayed, or even cancelled yet again. Look at other area around greater Manchester that have received bypasses with much less of a need. If only local councillors could work with there elected MP, together, to get this done. Are all the studies on air pollution in vicinity of property been ignored. The spur moved heavy traffic away from residential property. It's no good arguing, about possible rail ...that debate has long gone with the closing of the woodhead tunnel. We continue to build in glossop and surrounding areas, with no infrastructure in place to support traffic demands. Glossop is known nationally as a traffic hall hole...avoid if you can. The spur is not the infinite solution, but it offers relief to many homeowners whose health is affected every day by poor air quality. It will offer a quicker route out of glossop, and support big business in the area. The m67 is know as the motor way to nowhere...its ridiculous. Can you believe that the biggest delay on my trip to Wolverhampton last week, was the end of the M67. I wish I had the time to write more on this subject, but I'm workin a 2-10 shift...oh yes, it's worth pointing out that most taxpayers are commuters, most voters will not accept this. Ridiculous. On a side not, when improving my property in 2001 which had been hit so many times by traffic, I had nothing but problems with planning, at great expense. Natural stone, not render, off road parking issues when I improved site lines and pulled the property back from the edge of the road. Wooley bridge, welcome to glossop. Long queues, delays, poor air quality, pub thays been empty for 20 years, that's constantly vandalised. They used to call the m67 an improvement corridor ...unbelievable
