INTRODUCTION 1.1 The purpose of this document 1.1.1 This is the summary consultation report for the 2018 statutory consultation on the Trans-Pennine Upgrade scheme. 1.2 The scheme 1.2.1 Highways England’s Trans-Pennine Upgrade (TPU) is part of a £15 billion government investment in motorways and A roads under its 2014 Road Investment Strategy and involves improving journey times, tackling congestion and reducing incidents between Manchester and Sheffield. The Trans-Pennine route, which includes the A57, A628, A616 and A61, mainly consists of single carriageways with steep gradients and sharp bends and is particularly affected by bad weather. Schemes that form the Trans-Pennine Upgrade are also designed to reconnect communities divided by busy roads. 1.2.2 The scheme includes the following elements: • Mottram Moor Link Road – a dual carriageway link from the M67 terminal roundabout to a junction at A57(T) Mottram Moor • A57(T) to A57 Link Road – a single carriageway link from the A57 at Mottram Moor to a junction on the A57 at Brookfield, bypassing the existing A628/A57 and A57 Woolley Lane/Woolley Bridge Road junctions • Westwood Roundabout – an extra lane on the roundabout and the approaches to increase capacity and improve journey time reliability • Safety and technology improvements – safety measures focused on addressing collisions along the whole route and technology measures to provide driver information and inform route choices 1.3 Consultation on the scheme 1.3.1 There have been two earlier periods of non-statutory consultation on the scheme: • Pre-non-statutory consultation took place between October 2015 to March 2017 comprising workshops with key stakeholders, Statutory Environmental Body meetings and public awareness events. • A non-statutory consultation took place between 13 March and10 April 2017, where a number of options were presented to the public. Early consultation with the public at the non-statutory stage allowed members of the public to provide feedback on the options stage and influence the development of the TPU. The views collected during this time informed the Preferred Route Announcement (PRA) in November 2017. 1.3.2 Since the non-statutory consultation on options in early summer 2017 and the Preferred Route Announcement during autumn 2017, the scheme proposals have developed: • Improvements will be required at M67 Junction 4, to enable the scheme to perform at its best. Trans-Pennine Upgrade Public Consultation Report 2018 • The new junctions at A6018 Roe Cross Road and the new A57 link with Woolley Bridge are to be signalised ‘T’ junctions. • The design of the Mottram Tunnel has been reduced in length by approximately 40m on the eastern side meaning that it is now classified as an underpass, offering significant cost savings during construction and ongoing maintenance costs. • Opportunities for facilities for cyclists, pedestrians, equestrians and walkers are being identified through work with local authorities and TfGM. • Crossing facilities on the A57 from the M67 Junction 4 are to be improved and a combined cycleway and footpath alongside the new A57(T) to A57 link road between Mottram Moor and Woolley Bridge will be provided. • The existing A57(T) Hyde Road between the M67 Junction 4 and the new roundabout on Mottram Moor will no longer be part of the trunk road network and ownership will be passed to the local highway authority, Tameside MBC. • The improvements to the community environment include lower speed limits, speed reduction measures, local junction improvements, additional parking bays, and traffic priority signals. • Two formerly proposed elements of the scheme have been removed: o A61 Dualling – a dual carriageway on the A61 between the A616 roundabout and junction 36 of the M1 o A628 Climbing Lanes – two overtaking lanes on the A628 near Woodhead Bridge and near Salters Brook Bridge 1.3.3 The statutory consultation that is the subject of this report took place from 12 February to 25 March 2018 to ensure the local community, residents, local interest groups, businesses, visitors and road users all had the opportunity to fully understand the TPU and comment on the proposals. 1.3.4 An additional Targeted Statutory Consultation was held between 4 June 2018 and 1 July 2018 to engage with interested parties missed from the first statutory consultation after ongoing review of land referencing and finalisation of the Book of Reference.

OUR APPROACH TO THE 2018 STATUTORY CONSULTATION 2.1 Overview of the statutory consultation 2.1.1 The statutory consultation ran for 6 weeks from the 12 February to 25 March 2018 (42 days). This was to ensure the local community, residents, local interest groups, businesses, visitors and road users all had the opportunity to fully understand and comment on the scheme. The opportunity was also provided to comment on the parts of the scheme that can be delivered without a Development Consent Order (DCO) - Westwood Roundabout and the safety and technology elements. 2.1.2 The statutory consultation was an opportunity to seek views on a number of aspects of the scheme including: • level of support for link roads • agreement with community environment improvements proposals • views and suggestions of how the land above Mottram underpass may look on completion of the scheme • level of support for improved facilities for pedestrians, cyclists, equestrians and walkers • level of agreement with improved safety • whether proposals for Westwood roundabout will reduce delays 2.2 Statement of Community Consultation (SoCC) 2.2.1 Before the consultation a Statement of Community Consultation was prepared, setting out the timetable for the consultation and the various activities planned. The SoCC was agreed in advance of the consultation taking place with Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council, Derbyshire County Council, Sheffield City Council and Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council, and also Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM). 2.2.2 The final version of the SoCC, revised in line with the comments and suggestions received from the local authorities was published in the national and local press and made available at local community venues: • Broadbottom Community Centre • Hattersley Hub • Hattersley Library • Hollingworth Post Office • Magdalene Centre, Broadbottom • Mottram Post Office • St Mary’s Church, Hollingworth • Gamesley Community and Sports Centre Trans-Pennine Upgrade Public Consultation Report 2018 • Glossop Leisure Centre • Glossop Library • Hadfield Library • High Peak Borough Council • Peak District National Park Authority • Barnsley Central Library • Penistone Library • Tankersley Post Office • Tankersley Welfare Hall • Stocksbridge Library 2.3 Public consultation 2.3.1 At the start of the consultation period, copies of the public consultation brochure were sent directly to residential and commercial properties in close proximity to the scheme. The brochure outlined the scheme’s objectives, how proposals have developed and changed since the PRA and details of the elements which we would like views on as well as details for the public exhibitions and how to respond to the consultation.

    National Society Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools Report Broadbottom Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School Mottram Road, Broadbottom, Longdendale, Hyde. SK14 6BB Previous SIAS grade: Outstanding Current inspection grade: Outstanding Diocese: Chester Local authority: Tameside Date of inspection: 16 June 2016 Date of last inspection: 5 April 2011 School’s unique reference number: 106227 Headteacher: Esther Bland Inspector’s name and number: Anne B. Woodcock 445 School context The school serves the mixed socio-economic community of Broadbottom in the Longdendale Valley. All of the 108 pupils are of White British heritage. Most live in Broadbottom. The proportion of pupils known to attract the pupil premium grant is average. The school supports an average proportion of children with additional needs. The headteacher became the executive headteacher in September 2014, when she was appointed to lead Mottram Church of England Primary school in the neighbouring village. Her time is split equally between both schools. The distinctiveness and effectiveness of Broadbottom as a Church of England school are outstanding The strong, creative leadership of the headteacher, ably supported by dedicated staff and governors, inspires and drives all aspects of church school improvement. Pupils’ outstanding behaviour and attitudes to life and learning are clearly attributed to the school’s mission statement and their understanding of core Christian values. The explicitly expressed Christian values of forgiveness and love nurture and support all members of the school family. The strong, purposeful and mutually beneficial links with the church make a very significant contribution to the school’s Christian character and to the spiritual growth of pupils and staff.

Four test pits were excavated, one at the northern end of the modern chancel steps (TP1), one in at the southern end of the chancel steps (TP2), one at the northern end of the western entrance (TP3) and the final one being at the centre of the nave (TP4). These test pits were designed to reveal any under floor archaeology to a depth of 60 cm that would impinge on the plans for the heating system. TP1 At a depth of around 20cm from floor level an articulated skeleton was revealed. Also at the north eastern corner was a red sandstone possible post pad along with the remains of a sandstone wall running beneath the modern chancel steps. This may suggest an unknown middle phase of alteration to the church. TP2 Little was seen in this test pit apart from the ephemeral remains of the sandstone wall seen in test pit 1. TP3 On lifting the floorboards the unused building material from the 1990’s restoration was revealed.
