Its fantastic news the Metrolink will be coming to Stockport at long last. I would wish to thank Cllr. Mark Hunter for his outstanding tenacity in fighting for Stockport and delivering once again for our residents.
Stockport’s town centre is the UK’s largest town centre regeneration — and this week, we took our story to Parliament.
Myself with Tom Morrison Lib Dem MP Andy Burnham GM Mayor and Lisa Smart Hazel Grove MP
On the same day the government confirmed funding for the long-awaited Metrolink extension to Stockport, leaders from across the country gathered in Parliament to spotlight another major success: the transformation of Stockport town centre through the Stockport Mayoral Development Corporation (MDC).
✔ Thousands of homes on the way
✔ Local leadership with national backing
✔ Public-private partnership that works
With plans to expand the MDC boundary and double our housing ambition, this isn’t just about Stockport – it’s a model for what’s possible in towns across the UK.
