About me: Road Alert Glossop is a campaign group set up to oppose the proposed Mottram-Tintwhistle Bypass in the North West of England.
We argue the bypass will destroy local wildlife, make our roads more dangerous and ultimately lead to more congestion not less.
Email me at roadalertglossop@gmail.com
Who I'd like to meet: People who oppose the bypass in Glossop and surrounding areas.
Other campaign groups from around the North West.
People with interesting ideas of how we can campaign against the bypass.
