To consider a report of the Cabinet Member for Economy, Regeneration & Housing.

The Stockport Town Centre West Mayoral Development Corporation was created in September 2019 to deliver the Council’s ambitious agenda to deliver a new residential neighbourhood adjacent to the existing Town Centre, increase the long-term viability of the whole town centre, and regenerate Stockport’s Town Centre West. It will deliver the long-term vision for the area as set out in the Strategic Regeneration Framework for Town Centre West which the Council approved in November 2019.

To ensure that there is appropriate democratically accountable oversight and influence over the MDC, the Council and Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) have both formally agreed that the MDC will produce a Strategic Business Plan that specifies what activity the MDC will undertake and the Business Plan will be submitted to the Council and GMCA for approval.

This plan is the fifth Business Plan produced by the MDC since its creation.

(NOTE: An appendix to this report contains information ‘Not for Publication’ that has been circulated to members of the Cabinet only).

The Cabinet is recommended to approve the full MDC Strategic Business Plan for the period 2024–2029 at Appendix A to the report.
