Traffic on Mottram Moor is appalling and, quite apart from the obvious motoring, road safety and pollution issues, this brings down the profile and reputation of the whole area, with the identity of Glossop (and surrounding area) for many defined by this horrid and tedious experience to be endured before you can visit the place. In addition to the huge benefit to motorists and the local community of the bypass, easing pollution and congestion and improving road safety; this development will help restore peace and tranquillity to the area, which will benefit everyone. I remember Whaley Bridge and Chapel before that bypass was built; these are both now lovely places to visit, with only light traffic passing through. Mottram, Hattersley and Hollingsworth, Woolley bridge and Tintwistle have all put up with unreasonable levels of traffic misery for far too long already. I was delighted to hear there was finally some hope of this bypass going ahead. I am really disappointed to hear about this latest negative pressure. I am wholeheartedly behind the bypass project and hope my representation will help those making the final decision to allow this to proceed as planned
