Stockroom is set to open next year
In the heart of Merseyway shopping centre in Stockport , work is taking place to create a new art and community hangout which could be "the first of its kind" in Greater Manchester.
"It feels like it's something that's missing from Stockport, a place for anyone that needs a bit of a time out or space to relax, it's a space we don't already have." "It's crucial that we have activities here for everyone to access, and also events that are paid for so the building can sustain itself," Ms Riley Jones said.
Leaders in the borough's town hall have backed Stockroom to become an important regional hub of culture and art. Coun Frankie Singleton, Stockport council's culture lead, said the space will be "the first of its kind in Greater Manchester."
