I am aware that there has been a recent attempt by one political party to try and prevent this progress, which is many, many years overdue. It is nothing short of hypocritical given their candidate was waxing lyrical about it when they held office. This bypass is essential. The gridlock experienced by people living in Glossop has gotten worse over the years, not to mention the health concerns of breathing in noxious fumes when traffic is static. Mottram Moor, in its current form, is a source of frustration and leads to road rage. That said there does need to be further consideration of the traffic flow along the A57 either by synchronisation of traffic lights, or removing some altogether. There would be no significant change for traffic heading towards Glossop unless this is addressed, although traffic leaving Glossop would benefit.
