  • Adult Social Care Portfolio
    Date 21 Sept 2020 Version 1.1 (Cabinet) Approved by DM ECONOMY AND REGENERATION PORTFOLIO HOLDER’S INTRODUCTION This agreement is one that is shaped by the ‘new normal’ we’re now in, with COVID impacting on Stockport residents’ daily lives. As we go through the period this agreement covers, it could be we have finally found a viable vaccine and we have control over this devastating virus. However, the impact of COVID is going to be with us for many years indeed. This agreement seeks to reflect the present situation we are in, while looking forward to the future and Building Back Better. I am still determined that we push on with major infrastructure. There is an increased thirst for walking and cycling and we will continue to press ahead on this. We already have a track record that, in my opinion, we should be very proud of: so far, as a council, we have gained funding that is nearly the equivalent of £100 per Stockport resident. Yet for ‘big ticket’ infrastructure projects, the Mayoral Development Corporation (MDC) will play a key role in helping deliver them. From improving Stockport railway station to progressing Metrolink, the MDC is central to delivering both. We are already seeing the strength of the MDC; Weir Mill will soon realise its potential and later this year, work on Stockport Interchange will get underway. The St Thomas’ Hospital site has created a real buzz, bringing together regeneration and the council’s wider priorities of more affordable housing and providing better social care. The success we have had with ‘shovel ready’ funding for Stok (flexible office space to be located within the old M&S building) and Stockport Exchange Phase 4 will ensure our town centre continues to move towards a more sustainable and relevant future.

  • Appendix.1 Developing Our One Stockport Plan: Engagement Overview
    APPENDIX.1 DEVELOPING OUR ONE STOCKPORT PLAN: ENGAGEMENT OVERVIEW 1. Introduction 1.1 This report sets out our approach to capturing the views of our residents, businesses, partners and workforce on their priorities for the future to build into our Borough Plan. It provides an overview of the engagement and analysis we have undertaken which has informed our shared priorities and vision. We will continue to work collectively to understand the lived experiences of our communities. We recognise that some the impacts of Covid-19 are not known at this point and will change over time. It will be important to embed intelligence, insight and co- design in all future planning. 1.2 We want to develop a shared vision for Stockport that outlines how we want to work together and our joint priorities. In developing our collective plan, it felt important to reflect the voices and priorities of local communities, alongside understanding and responding to insight gathered through impact studies, our Joint Strategic Needs Analysis (JSNA), and wider data analysis, to shape how we stay together as One Stockport to provide the conditions and opportunities for happy, healthy, thriving, connected communities. 2. What we have heard 2.1 In total, we spoke to over 3,800 people who either lived or worked in Stockport, this also included engaging with 1,000 children and young people, making sure their voices were heard. Some common themes emerged from these exercises and are outlined below. 2.2 Flourishing and connected communities came through as a key theme throughout our engagement; organisations from our Voluntary, Community, Faith and Social Enterprise (VCFSE) sector, businesses, young people and older people all mentioned the importance of this.
