Introducing Gatley’s Creative Quarter

by Lib Dem team on 2 April, 2014

Centred around Buxton Street and Church Road, Gatley has been quietly developing our Creative Quarter – and it’s time to shout about it! We’ve seen quite a few independents opening up in recent years, they’re a real credit to Gatley and we need to make some noise.

Gatley's Creative Quarter centres about Buxton Street, off Church Road in the heart of the village.

After looking around all those shops, why not enjoy a drink or a meal at Piccolo just up the road.

    Iain,
    Looks like Gatley is showing great signs of business recovery with these local Independent businesses Good luck to them.

    There is also a huge improvement to The Cheadle Businesses and with lots of New independents battling the big boys.

    How about a feature and support from you for Cheadle.

    Hi Ian – absolutely right, I think I put something up about Cheadle just last week and I’ll continue to promote both village centres; they’ve both got a lot to offer.
