They would see the Trans Pennine Trail, a route for walkers and cyclists, upgraded alongside the River Mersey and the bus station.<\/p>\n
Stockport Council leader Alex Ganotis said it was “such an important project… and will take our transformation of the town centre to the next level”.<\/p>\n
“We believe that the creation of a new park, new homes and modern public transport facilities will all be great additions,” he added.<\/p>\n
