Steel frame starts at major Stockport scheme

Work at the Redrock Stockport project has reached an important milestone as the steel frames have started to be erected.

Billington Structures, working on behalf of main contractor Wates Construction, has begun erecting steel sections for the £45M project’s new 10-screen cinema.

Opening its doors next year, Redrock will transform a large swathe of Stockport town centre with new shops, restaurants and leisure facilities.

Councillor Kate Butler, Executive Member for Economy and Regeneration at Stockport Council said: “It is great to see the steel frames starting to go up at Redrock and how the work is beginning to take shape.

“I am really excited about everything taking place across our town centre at the moment and how the town is changing.”

The entire Redrock project is due to be completed by mid-2017.
