Councillors will this week be asked to approve the second full-year strategy for the town’s Mayoral Development Corporation, which has committed to delivering 1,000 town centre homes by 2023.
Stockport Council’s economy & regeneration scrutiny committee will meet on Thursday, with one of the key items being the MDC’s business plan, which requires sign-off by both the local authority and the Greater Manchester Combined Authority.
Lord Kerslake, chairman of the body, said in his foreword of the draft report that the MDC “continues to provide a blueprint for how town centres, with the right vision, partnership commitment and political leadership, can be transformed to the benefit of their communities and the wider economy”.
