Stockport Council has launched a great new service, allowing us all to see a huge amount of information overlaid on a map of the borough.

Put in your road or postcode from the front page of the Stockport website and find out a host of useful information from your bin collection days and councillors to your local schools, health centre, leisure centre, park, library, optician, pharmacy, doctor, dentist, hospital, planning applications and more.

There’s a mapping function covering the whole borough. You can find out almost anything. The map below shows land the Council owns along with adopted highways (i.e. pavement and road the council is responsible for maintaining) together.

Here are just some of the other things you can see on the map:

• Ward, constituency and borough boundaries and location of polling stations
• Citizens advice bureaux, job centres, libraries, community toilets, CCTV locations, police stations and cemeteries
• Council buildings and schools
• Green belt, smoke control and air quality management areas
• Grounds maintenance (what’s maintained and who does it)
• Dentists, doctors, hospitals, opticians and pharmacies
• Listed buildings and conservation areas
• Land owned by the Council, and Council-owned land leased to others
• Planning applications
• Recycling centres
• Retirement and sheltered housing schemes
• Leisure centres, museums, galleries and parks
• Stockport Homes properties and offices
• Definitive rights of way, train stations, public car parks and bus stops
• Adopted highways, streetlights, illuminated bollards, illuminated signs, highway structures and safety inspection routes
• Winter gritting routes for roads and footways, grit bin locations
• Trees with tree preservation orders

This is a new service – there will be the odd bug so please let us know if you spot anything that doesn’t work correctly.
