I fully support the construction of the bypass and spur road, for the following reasons. I have lived in Glossop for 20 years and I regularly used the A628 both for business and personal use. The traffic congestion at times of maximum use must contribute to huge environmental pollution as well as motoring costs. The traffic numbers have greatly increased, in both directions, year by year particularly on goods transport which must be particularly harmful to the health and well being of the local population around Hollingsworth and Tintwistle. There is no other alternative transport to travel to Sheffield, and the excessive traffic over spills on to the A57 Snake Road which serves only to off load these issues (above) into central Glossop, which basically has one road in and out of Town.
