"ONE ROAD TO BYPASS THEM AND IN THE DARKNESS CAST THEM"

A site in praise of Councillor Roy Oldham and  his intended mad legacy of yet more roads , as if we didnt have 20 miles of them already stretching from Glossop to Warrington!

 all belching out misery, smoke, and guzzling up the remaining fossils fuels on the very isolated planet on which we live.

 

There are exhibitions of the new proposed Bypass Mk2 / Spur Road in the next couple of weeks. 

Saturday 6th February - Mottram Community Centre, Church Brow, Mottram-in-Longdendale, Hyde SK14 6JJ (10 am to 5 pm)
Monday 8th February - Broadbottom Community Centre, Lower Market Street, Broadbottom, Hyde SK14 6AA (2 pm to 8.30 pm)
Thursday 11th February - Mottram Community Centre, Church Brow, Mottram-in-Longdendale, Hyde SK14 6JJ (2 pm to 8.30 pm)
Friday 12th February - St. Mary’s Church, Hollingworth, Market Street, Hollingworth SK14 8NE (12 pm to 8.30 pm)
Saturday 13th February - St. Mary’s Church, Hollingworth, Market Street, Hollingworth SK14 8NE (10 am to 5 pm)
Friday 19th February - Bradbury Community House, Market Street, Glossop, Derbyshire SK13 8AR (12 pm to 8.30 pm)

In summary you will find there are OPTIONS FOR 

  1. Buses

  2. More buses! 

  3. Even more buses!  

  4. 2 Roads 

  5. 3 Roads

  6. All of the above

 

YOU CAN TELL Tameside Council have really put a lot of their customary thought and imagination into these exhibitions, in the sense that "All roads lead to a ROAD!" No suprises there therefore. Nothing has been ruled out, except any meaningful attempt to find a cost efficient non road alternative, which makes sensible use of the very limited funding that can possibly be made available to resolve the Longdendale Transport issue. 

 

Perhaps strangely for a road scheme it is being promoted  as Longdendale Integrated Transport Strategy (the acronym is LITS) , as it has to appear green to open up the funding purse strings.

 

It will simply be a road based scheme that whilst purporting to offer relief to the over congested areas in the valley, opens the whole area up to massive development, and spells the end of the Peak Park.

Something for think about when taking a pleasant stroll in our unique but threatened countryside, or taking the dog for a walk.  

The future of the place you have chosen to live in because of its lovely rural and semi rural aspect rests in your hands.
