One of the biggest issues facing our area in the next few years is how we will cope with the additional traffic from the 4,000+ homes that Cheshire East Council plan to build near the Stockport border – many of them around Handforth Dean. We have been asking Cheshire East to work with us and […]

Thankfully our area has not suffered. Stockport has the benefit of being on relatively high ground. In the town itself […]

The new bins should increase capacity and will hopefully be better used and more effective, reducing the […]
