I don't see how spending near £300million on a road to bypass a few houses is worth it as traffic will not be any better infact I think it will be worse e.g. high lane A6 with the new airport link road. The new road will speed up traffic when on it west but traffic will be queued up trying to get on it pushing traffic further back into Glossop and then after it will just join the Denton traffic on the end of the m67 so travel times won't be that much different to what they are now. East bound traffic will just queue at the new light system going across or onto Mottram Road and even if it did fliw better more traffic would use it so more traffic would be going through Tintwistle. I don't think this is the answer even as a part 1 of a project, I think its going to bring in more traffic and more pollution in the area and £300million can be spent more wisely, traffic will always be there all you are doing is pushing it onto another road
