The scale of development is extraordinary - undeniably so. But some are concerned.
Stockport town centre and the communities around it are changing at such a pace the landscape shifts from week-to-week. Areas in the borough's heart are transforming beyond recognition.
The scale of development is extraordinary - undeniably so. But some are worried. There are fears Stockport town centre - and areas nearby, such as Edgeley - will become 'another Ancoats', with locals being priced out. Labour MP for Stockport Navendu Mishra said: "Stockport is a really good place to live. We have good housing stock and we are very well connected, but we have issues with demand and supply.
Coun Matt Wynne, leader of the Edgeley Community Association, said: "We do not want the whole of the borough's housing delivery target to be in the centre of Stockport. This is an abdication of responsibility of the borough as a whole.
