I am against the bypass because - - more pollution - destruction of wildlife habitats of deer, badger and fox which we see regularly where the road will be. - will bring more traffic to the area which will probably then make the bypass road blocked. - pointless as just moving traffic from one place to another -destroying our countryside and our village. - more roads is not the answer don't we want to stop climate change ? Why do we have to build more roads instead of thinking of ways to prevent more traffic I.e - stop building more houses in Glossop and surrounding areas it is ridiculous! Building another road is not an option why can't you use your brains and spend the money on something useful - Open the railline back on woodhead - the solution is changing the lights at the top at mottram this is what stops the flow of traffic a simple solution instead of a new road making new traffic in more areas! - ban HGV’s the pollution in hollingworth and up the Moore is too much! This bypass has destroyed my aunties life for over 30 years and continues to with this new plan as they try again to destroy her house!! She will not move and you will not destroy our lives and our countryside!
