Survey

1. Do you agree that expanding the boundary of the Mayoral Development Corporation to cover the whole of the town centre would be the best way to drive forward long-term regeneration for Stockport’s town centre?
2. We propose to expand the boundary of the Mayoral Development Corporation from the current area (Stockport Town Centre West – shown in red below) to cover the whole of the town centre area (including Stockport Town Centre East- expanding to include the area shown in blue).

 

View in a seperate tab: Stockport Council

Do you agree that the proposed expanded boundary is appropriate?

3. An appropriate name must be proposed as part of the expansion process. The full name of the current MDC is ‘Stockport Town Centre West Mayoral Development Corporation’.

If the area covered by the Mayoral Development Corporation is expanded to cover the whole of the town centre, do you agree that this should be named ‘Stockport Mayoral Development Corporation’?

4. The current Greater Manchester MDC model is that MDC's do not have planning functions or rate relief powers. These powers concern the ability to grant discretionary non-domestic rate relief to businesses and certain planning functions. Under this model, these functions will remain with Stockport Council.

Do you agree that these powers should continue to remain with Stockport Council and that the MDC should continue to not have any planning or rate relief powers?

5. Do you have any other comments about the expansion of Stockport's MDC boundary to cover the entirety of the town centre?
