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.

Funding for a new community hub with a pool, library, gym, community space and play park has been approved for Marple. We're told artistic impressions are not accurate and consultation with main interest groups including Friends of the Park will start soon.

I was pleased to join the council's Conservation Officer yesterday for a site visit to inspect the bridge during the final stages of blasting and paint removal. We were able to have a close-up look at the two cracks in the cast iron and the council's Engineer explained how they would be repaired.
Those repairs are due to commence very soon, along with clean-up and preparations for priming and painting. A second visit has been arranged for us to see the final stages of painting before the scaffold and encapsulation is removed.
