Our vision: ‘We believe that we can foster economic growth in a more inclusive way so that all communities enjoy good life chances, and, the benefits of growth in terms of jobs, prosperity and access to public services, are distributed to best meet the needs of Stockport residents both now and in the future.’ This work links to other work being done by Stockport Council including new developments to create more jobs and insight work that is looking at people’s experiences through the use of community reporters.
