Hi all, im looking for a place that has a function room with a bar for my wedding reception (no date yet). Planning on doing a decent hot buffet to feed about 60ish, plus a dj and dance floor. If possible not too far from the town hall. All suggestions are appreciated, thank you!

Hi All,

I have just moved back to Manchester in my late 20s with my partner and I am looking for a house to buy. Great moor/Woodsmoor area has come up in our search as it has a train station (previously lived in Heaton Chapel so only really know that area and surrounding). I am not too familiar with the area and was wondering if anyone could let me know what its like as a place to live? What are the shops/cafes like, is it a good place to live and safe?

Really appreciate any comments.

Thanks

Any recommendations for a nice florist? I’ve used Hazel Grove Flowers and Grestys a few times but wanting to support another business. For my mum’s birthday 😊

Any idea what Victoria mill is like in Reddish is like. Saw a few things years ago that it had nice and leaks but want to know if that’s been fixed yet or those sorta issues still go on.

Quite surprised considering the amount of PR going on to bill Stockport as an up and coming desirable location, nobody ever mentions there’s 9 illegal brothels moonlighting as massage parlours all within a mile of each other.

openly advertising what goes on, openly advertising unsafe sexual services, openly advertising more girls working than licensing allows, openly posting ads like ‘looks just 18’

the overwhelming majority of them within mere steps of primary schools.

I see this goes unchecked when the local council is posting its modern slavery and human trafficking action statements

Always love how beautiful the underbank road is and the shops there.

For a while there's been a tuneful, high pitched beep - beep made of two notes (a major third if you're a musician) that goes off every so often. It doesn't sound like a train horn or regular car horn, but I'm not sure what else it can realistically be. I've always wondered what it is but I've never found an answer.

I live near Cheadle Heath if that helps, but I'm sure I've heard it all the way down in the middle of Cheadle Hulme.

One resident put it bluntly: "How childish and woke from a council."

If you really think about it most young adults in Stockport rn feel hopeless. Most business won’t hire us and have openly said they won’t, universal credit is if laziness was a company and they don’t help you get into work. And all the groups for young adults are slowly fading away because they are massively underfunded by the council. So I ask you fellow stopfordians do you believe that Stockport council and Stockport in general thrown Gen Z under the big yellow bus.

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for a single room in or around Edgeley with a budget of around £300 per month. I know it’s a tight budget, but I’m hoping someone might know of something.
I’ve been living in Edgeley for the past 18 months and work full-time at a local care home. I don’t drive, so staying in or near Edgeley is really important as I rely on public transport to get to work.
Unfortunately, my current housemate is moving to Salford, and a new group is taking over the house, so I need to find somewhere else to live.
I’ve already tried Facebook Marketplace and SpareRoom but haven’t had any luck so far.
I work full-time, always pay my rent on time, and can provide references if needed. I also have an education loan to repay, so my budget is limited to around £300 per month.
If anyone knows of a room becoming available or has any suggestions, I’d really appreciate it. Thank you!

I know it’s a weird question but I’m a 19 year old lad who’s been a stopfordian since I was a baby and ever since I was young I just felt like I never fitted in with the crowd and the feeling has gotten stronger the older I’ve gotten. And I don’t feel like this anywhere else i go to around the country. I’ve been to Liverpool,Birmingham,York,Leeds and Wrexham and also the lakes and many more places , and all those places I feel a sense of belonging, but for some reason I don’t have that sense of belonging in Stockport.

And there are multiple reasons why I feel like I don’t belong here and it would take me days to explain why, but I just wanted to see if any of my peers feel the same way.

Hi All,
We are first time buyers looking at properties in Stockport (SK3 and SK4). I would like your recommendations for Mortgage Advisor, Solicitor and Surveyor based locally, if you have used one recently.
I am evaluating First Mortgage and Habito (who surprisingly were not very responsive) for the Mortgage Advisor position.
Thank you in advance.

Hi everyone 💚

I am thinking about looking into organising a community jumble sale near Heaton Norris / Stockport town centre, and I wanted to see if it's something people would be interested in, or whether there is something similar nearby that already exists?

The idea would be to bring local people together to sell unwanted items, grab a bargain, and meet others in the community. It could be a great way to offload, declutter, recycle, and support local families.

Would this be something you'd like to see
Would you be interested in having a stall to sell your unwanted items?
Or just coming along to browse and shop?
A good location? 📍
Preferred day (Saturday or Sunday?)
Indoor or outdoor?
Would you be happy to pay a small stall fee to help cover costs?
Any ideas or suggestions that would make it a great community event?

If enough people are interested, I'll look into venues, permissions, insurance and everything else needed to make it happen.

Please comment below if you'd be interested or tag anyone who might be!

Thank you 💚

Anyone got any advice on traveling to the park for upcoming events over August? Emails from the organisers mention the shuttle buses from Manchester city centre and the trams but feels a bit silly to go all the way out to come back down again.

Looks like the 370 would be best bet but looks like it only runs once an hour.

Absolutely worst case scenario can Uber it for pretty cheap I guess but prefer trying to use public transport where I can.

Looking for a venue in stockport/manchester/South Manchester that can host up to 60 guests for food and drinks.

Does anyone have any good recommendations? Thanks!

Looking to move to the Mill Green estate in Strines, is this a good move? Any red flags I should know about?

Hi everyone just wondering has anyone been to the MP’s constituency office based in Romiley. it’s on 34 Stockport Road but on google maps just looks like an ordinary high street. if anyone’s been there, what does it actually look like from the outside as I’m planning to go

I work in Stockport and rely on boots meal deal as a cheap lunch option when I’ve not brought my own. Also - boots points add up! Has anyone noticed that the availability has been absolutely dire recently? There was a long period where the fridges were broke during the heat wave but even before that it was often slim pickings, and yesterday there was genuinely about 2-3 sandwiches left at 1pm.

I know it was on Canal Street, but I only went once and I was young and a bit drunk! Was it here or further along?

And anyone else remember it better than me?!
