I am concerned that this bypass will increase traffic in Glossop and Tintwhistle. I am also very concerned about the negative effects it will have on the environment. Why haven’t considerations been given to improving the railway connection between Glossop, surrounding areas and Yorkshire? This isnt really a bypass its a spear road that will only move the traffic problem but wont solve anything. This is a massive waste of public money. There are absolutely no guarantees that any Phase Two will be agreed in which case Phase one shouldn’t go ahead as it will achieve nothing because larger scale traffic problems in the area wont be solved.
