We’re currently consulting on the draft Local Plan, which will shape development across the borough up to 2042. The draft Plan proposes focusing most new development in the most sustainable locations - close to public transport, services, jobs and key infrastructure.

Our Chief Executive Karen James OBE recently presented an Above and Beyond award to trusted assessor Emma Chatterton, who supported a poorly patient by ensuring he was able to see his granddaughter’s wedding, even helping him with his suit to get ready. Wonderful care and support.

What a sensational evening last night - the big fundraising gala at the Royal Nawaab Pyramid restaurant for our Stockport NHS Charity. Over £25K was raised for our charity – a huge thank you to the Royal Nawaab team and everyone who so generously donated. www.stockport.nhs.uk/news_24546

The A555 has now reopened. Thank you for your patience while our teams worked at pace to make the road safe ahead of the evening rush hour. We know this stretch of road has ongoing challenges, and we’re working on a wider programme of improvements.

The A555 has been closed and will remain closed overnight, Tuesday. We believe that damage caused by Storm Claudia, including tree fall, has resulted in a water channel being diverted, causing the road to flood. We're looking into this, and we will provide a further update tomorrow, Wednesday.

Carrington Road in Portwood is currently closed due to a sinkhole. An emergency response team is on the way to carry out an inspection, and GMP has closed the road for safety. Google Maps and Waze are showing the closure, but please avoid the area where possible. Further updates will follow.

Congratulations to our switchboard manager Caroline Bibby and speech and language therapist Jen Zambas who have both recently received Above and Beyond runner up awards for their outstanding service. Both are great examples of our caring values.

A big thank you to everyone who came to see us at Bredbury Library yesterday. It was good speaking with so many of you about the draft Local Plan and hearing what you’d like to see for Stockport’s future.
