This is the community web site for Marple in Stockport. It was started in 1998 to provide useful information for local people and potential visitors and to contribute to the fantastic community spirit that abounds in this small canal town on the edge of the peaks. It is now in its 3rd Generation and continues to do this with regular updates and lots of interaction with the local community.

A small friendly local landscape gardening business covering all areas of Marple and Stockport.
Thank you for renewing sponsorship in September 2023!
The Marple Poppy Appeal Team has achieved remarkable success over the last six years since being reinvigorated by retired businessman Kevin Murray in 2017. Thanks to Kevin's new ideas and the generosity of the Marple Community they have raised an astounding £120,000 for the Royal British Legion in the intervening period. Plans are now taking shape to boost that sum with the 2023 Appeal!
In 2020, despite the restrictions imposed by the global Covid19 pandemic, the Marple Poppy Appeal Team found new ways to succeed without selling poppies by creating “Walls of Remembrance” in Marple Memorial Park, Compstall, Mellor and Mill Brow. This has quickly become a new Marple tradition, as has the Ride of Remembrance first introduced in 2021 and now a fixture in the Community Calendar!
Friends of Marple Memorial Park have submitted their response to the Marple Active Community Hub Consultation here: https://www.marplememorialpark.org.uk/hub-comments
Also included is a round-up of suggestions of how you may wish to support what they are saying in your own personal responses to the consultation. Closure has been extended to 9th October 2023
If you represent a local non-profit making organisation that you feel should be featured in the Community Group Pages, if you'd like a banner to promote your local business, or if you have any ideas about how the site can be improved, please get in touch using the contacts page.
Independent contributions and articles on local history, attractions or other matters of interest to the local community are particularly welcome.
