Illegal parking, fly-tipping, and anti-social behaviour is a \u2018blight\u2019 on neighbourhoods in Stockport<\/a>, councillors have said, with calls for a bigger effort to stamp it out.<\/p>\n

The issues were brought up at Stockport town hall during a council meeting on October 10, with a motion demanding a review into how enforcement action can be stepped up across the borough.<\/p>\n

Issues around Edgeley Park football stadium were also highlighted, with the motion saying there is \u2018widespread illegal parking blocking driveways, obstructing pavements, and creating hazards for vulnerable road users.\u2019<\/p>\n

During the council meeting, there were calls for stronger enforcement measures to be taken, more officers on the streets, and working more closely with Greater Manchester Police<\/a> and others.<\/p>\n

Edgeley councillor Asa Caton moved the motion, saying it would help the council to \u2018look at where the gaps are\u2019 in enforcement across Stockport and bring \u2018real consequences\u2019 for those who break the rules.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cPeople across Stockport tell us the same thing, we report it but nothing happens, and when nothing happens confidence in the council erodes.\u201d<\/p>\n

There were also calls for action against developers who are not following their agreements with the council.<\/p>\n

Examples were given on Chester Road in Woodford which has \u2018faced over a year of unsafe and obstructive parking,\u2019 and at Springmount Mill in Edgeley, after the Local Democracy Reporting Service (LDRS) investigated changes at Highfield Street before planning permission had been granted.<\/p>\n

Dan Oliver, Stockport council<\/a>\u2019s cabinet member for communities, culture and public protection, said it is \u2018absolutely not the case\u2019 that enforcement is not taking place around Stockport, and gave examples of the council\u2019s work.<\/p>\n

He pointed to a recent freedom of information request by the LDRS which showed there were 23,000 fines issued for parking in Stockport over the last 12 months – 5,000 more than the previous year.<\/p>\n

\u201cMuch of this work is already underway, it\u2019s what we have pushed for since taking back the administration a couple of years ago,\u201d Coun Oliver said.<\/p>\n

The motion on tougher enforcement measures in Stockport was agreed by councillors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It was debated at a council meeting.Stockport Town Hall.
