The former Ritz Cinema car park in Stockport town centre is to be sold off for housing. The authority's economy and regeneration scrutiny committee is recommended to back disposal of the land when it meets on Thursday night.
The Fletcher Street site is currently used as a surface-level car park but council bosses say their vision for the site is as a’ high- quality residential development in this important town centre location’. A report set to go before the scrutiny committee says it would bolster regeneration of Town Centre West, the 4,000-home ‘urban village’ driven by the borough’s Mayoral Development Corporation (MDC).
“This development supports the wider ambition of the MDC’s masterplan for Stockport to become the most sustainable, liveable town centre in Greater Manchester with schemes already on site at Weir Mill and announced at Stockport 8,” it reads.
