Public engagement exercises

In July 2018, a four-week public engagement exercise was carried out by TfGM, in partnership with Stockport Council and the Greater Manchester Combined Authority, to find out what people thought of the proposals for the new Stockport Interchange.

Hundreds of people got in touch to give us their views. TfGM produced an engagement exercise report, which gives a summary of how we ran the exercise, an analysis of the responses received and the next steps.

The bridge and park are vital pieces of infrastructure that will allow for improved pedestrian and cycle access between the new interchange and the rail station. A three-week public engagement exercise was carried out on the bridge link and public park in March 2020, from the feedback received some alterations were incorporated into the design.

In the summer of 2021 the scheme welcomed feedback and comments to help shape the landscaping design of the park. This feedback has been reviewed and responses considered, several recommendations have been incorporated into the park area.

In January 2022 we held a one month public consultation for the proposed cycle and pedestrian ramp. The ramp is in addition to the lifts and staircase and will provide a supplementary connection from the Mersey frontage to the new public park. Feedback has been analysed and has helped us to develop more detailed design for the ramp.

Thanks to everyone that has taken part in the scheme’s consultation exercises.

Bus services during construction of the new development

In preparation for this scheme it was necessary to close the old bus station to construct the new development.

Working with bus operators, we'll maintain all bus services during construction and will work to ensure any disruption to services, passengers and local residents and businesses is kept to an absolute minimum.

In August 2021, a temporary bus station opened on Heaton Lane car park to provide an alternative town centre facility for passengers. Some bus services were relocated to the new Heaton Lane bus station. Some bus services now run from Mersey Square and others, including coaches, will run from temporary stops in the town centre.

Changes to traffic routes

During construction of the main interchange scheme, Daw Bank will be reduced to a single carriageway with traffic permitted into the town centre. Diversion notifications are in place for road users travelling out from the town centre. Swaine Street is closed during the works however, access to TN Robinson’s car park remains available at all times.

Parking bays located along Daw Bank have been removed with alternative parking available on-street at Exchange Street and at Station Road car park.
