After approval was given last week for the Mottram Bypass and Glossop Spur Road High Peak’s MP has launched a campaign to push for a second phase.
Robert Largan wants what he sees as a key second phase that would bypass both Hollingworth and Tintwistle.
He said: “After over half a century of waiting, I am delighted that the Government has officially approved the Mottram Bypass and Glossop Spur Road.”
The Secretary of State confirmed that a Development Consent Order has been approved on November 16.
The MP said: “But I’m not stopping here. I will not rest until the second phase of the bypass has been built around Tintwistle.”
He is working with local residents on a proposal for a “Village Gateway” traffic calming scheme for. A study by Highways England has been carried out which concluded that such measures are needed locally.
Mr Largan said: “If we’re going to secure the extra funding needed for a “Village Gateway” traffic calming scheme and for the key second phase of the bypass around Tintwistle, we need to demonstrate the strength of local support.
“That’s why I’ve launched a special petition in support of the projects, which I will be presenting to Parliament. You can sign the petition and show your support online at www.robertlargan.co.uk/tintwistletoo.”
