Update: Stockport Council voted on 20th Jan 2011 to abolish the parish and the parish council, following the outcome of the consultation below which showed most residents didn’t want it. 

From Stockport Council:

Are you a resident of Offerton Park Parish?

Stockport Council is urging residents to give their views on the future governance of Offerton Park Parish Council before the consultation ends on Wednesday 20th October.

Stockport Council’s Community Governance Review of Offerton Park Parish Council is about looking at how decisions are made in the area and how residents are represented.

In order to make sure the final decision is right for the community Stockport Council needs your views. Residents are being asked to give their views by returning their consultation response form and stating their preference from the following options:

• Option 1 – abolish the Parish Council

• Option 2 – keep the Parish Council as it is

• Option 3 – change the Parish boundary

Residents can either return their forms by post or by using the drop box at Dialstone Library by 5.00pm on Wednesday 20th October.

A series of drop-in sessions and forums have been held at Dialstone Library over the last week.
