I am opposed to the plans. While there are lots of people who would like to see traffic issues resolved, I do not think this is the right way to do it. There are many people who live in the Glossop and Mottram areas because of the natural beauty of the area. I along with many others do not want to see this destroyed in order to build new roads which will lead to more traffic. I also do not believe the consultation was conducted fairly and properly. It should not have been held during the COVID-19 pandemic and should have been delayed. Many people who will be affected by the scheme were not given a fair opportunity to have their say as they were dealing with the impacts of the virus. I believe the scheme was preconceived with little attention given to viable alternatives. The information provided by Highways England is not in a format that is easily digestible by the general public. It does not set out clear aims and does not provide any evidence that it will work.
