As a Glossop resident for almost 20 years I have seen at first hand the abysmal traffic problems that Glossop and the surrounding area suffer from. Before I moved to the area a work colleague told me about the 'plans' for a bypass that had been mooted for many years. He was, shall we say, extremely sceptical that anything would ever happen. We are now closer to a workable solution than we've ever been and we really mustn't let this opportunity slip through our fingers. The economic benefits to the area and the mental health of legions of impatient motorists in the area will be only two of the many benefits when the plans come to fruition. To back out of a solution at this point will consider this and future generations to continued motoring and economic misery.
