Welcome to the Marple Website

Welcome to the 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 is now in its 3rd Generation and continues to do this with regular updates and lots of interaction with the local community.

Below are the most recent updates on this site:

COVID Commemoration Project

Friends of Marple Memorial Park are working on a COVID Commemoration Project with Stockport Council to create a permanent memorial in the park to commemorate those we have lost and to celebrate the way the Marple Community came together to help one another during the pandemic.

The flag pole in Marple Memorial Park will become a COVID Memorial

The group are seeking feedback on their ideas and would particularly like to know what message local people would like the inscription to convey. Visit the FoMMP web site to learn more and to give feedback please.

Get involved with the Marple Community Hub

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.
