A controversial guide that came out in 2003 called the Greater Manchester town 'c**p' - how things have changed
There's no doubt Stockport feels like it's on the up. It's one of two Greater Manchester towns recently named as the 'best areas to live' in the UK by The Sunday Times.
The Sunday Times judges said: "The town in Greater Manchester is in the throes of a mighty metamorphosis that's turning it into one of the most exciting towns around. The conversion of the vast Weir Mill into a new neighbourhood is well underway." The review described Stockport's Merseyway shopping precinct as the "town's heart", but only if you wanted to "buy anything from Woolworths, Argos or 'Everything For £1'. And don't, whatever you do, walk underneath the precinct's second-floor balcony, otherwise you might face a "shower of gob, McDonald's fries and stones from the gangs of youths above.
The reaction Stockport's politicians leapt to the defence of the town . Mark Hunter, leader of Stockport Council, hit back at the guide saying: "Everyone is entitled to an opinion but most residents of Stockport say they are happy here. We happen to be a national leader in recycling and we would be very willing to deal with all the left over copies of this obscure publication.
