I’ve lived in glossop for all of my life and all that time it’s been an absolute nightmare to get in or get out of glossop. Whilst all of the various vehicles queue up to get in or out and having standing vehicles with their engines running and going not very far, pollution levels must be higher than having all of those vehicles moving. Furthermore the valuable time lost to queuing up to leave glossop or to get back into glossop has a serious impact on people’s well-being and also the impact on shops and other roads being turned into short cuts to try and avoid the inevitable jams of traffic so making other areas of glossop, hadfield and tintwistle seriously congested and gridlocked. We really do need this to change for the health of everyone in glossop and the surrounding areas be it mental or pollution. I’m now fast approaching 55 and I know that this has gone on too long. Build the road and let’s make glossop a town that can breathe again.
