As the Executive Member for Economic Growth and Regeneration (and try saying that after a few pints) I’m very excited about Stockport being one of the twelve Portas Pilot towns across the country.

That we won is a testament to the hard work of a whole range of people from Council officers to the town’s businesses and landlords and those keen to promote a growing creative sector in our town.

I’m looking forward to working with all those people and many more over the coming months as we establish our Town Team and start turning the good ideas and high aspirations into reality.

I’ve no doubt we’ll learn a great deal from what others are doing well, and hopefully in turn be able to use our experiences to help others. I’ll be making regular blog posts to update you on what’s happening.
