Stockport is home to both the most and least deprived areas in Greater Manchester - and the gap between the haves and have nots appears to be getting wider.
According to a new council report, Brinnington and Central ward has the highest levels of poverty while Bramhall South and Woodford - just five miles away - is the most affluent.
Entitled ‘Fair and Inclusive Stockport', it finds that - while the borough overall is close to the national average for factors ors such as employment, income and health - there are ‘pockets of very concentrated deprivation’.
