'Forgotten' village where you 'can't open windows' due to 2000 HGVs roaring through daily
Residents in a village where 2000 HGVs pass through every day are dismayed by long delays to a bypass to reduce their traffic nightmare.
The long-awaited Mottram Bypass was expected to be under construction by now, but the £223 million project has been hit by fresh delays. Villager Dorothy Turton, 75, who runs a shop which has been in her family for three generations, told the Manchester Evening News: “I’ve had triple glazing put in, but you can still hear the noise.
A dual-carriageway would bypass Mottram in Longendale from the M67 to Mottram Moor under the plans, while another link road would take traffic away from Woolley Lane onwards to Glossop and Snake Pass.Sarah Denton, who works in the village post office, said: “The traffic is awful and it’s getting worse. It’s pretty much constant throughout the day.
