Quorum are holding a public exhibition to demonstrate their vision for Bredbury Gateway where interested parties will be able to view the plans, discuss the scheme with members of the development team, and provide feedback.

Paul Cook, director of Quorum, said:
“While Stockport has shown that it is open for business, there is a shortage of deliverable and sustainable sites for future strategic employment development in the Borough, which risks the area missing out on investment and job creation to elsewhere.
“Over the last decade, Greater Manchester has become a hotbed for new e-commerce, logistics and manufacturing schemes that have created thousands of highly skilled and well-paid jobs. Bredbury Gateway will strengthen Stockport’s foothold in these dynamic sectors and is a unique opportunity to create more exciting and rewarding career paths for the local population.”
£80m will be invested into delivering Bredbury Gateway, and the scheme is reported to boost the Stockport Economy by approximately £130.1m each year once open for business, being home to a range of businesses across the logistics, warehousing and manufacturing sectors.
In addition, a new pedestrian and cycle link, as well as a new car park will be delivered for Stockport Sports Village, addressing a long-term challenge of limited vehicle space for this community hub and enhancing its accessibility.
