Welcome to the New Marple Website

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 continues to do this with regular updates and lots of interaction with the local community.

Marple Town Centre Defibrillator News 16 May 2018

Electrician Mike Beese with the new Defibrillator The Marple Town Centre Defibrillator has now been installed. We'd like to send a big thank you to electrician Mike Beese of TBG INSPECTION SERVICES (pictured) for providing installation support to the Marple Town Centre Defibrillator Project.

The Defib is waiting for registration with the NW Ambulance Services before it can go into service (at which point the out-of-sevice sign will be removed).
