Chadwick Street Foodstore
The meeting received a report from the Stockport MBC Director for Place Management and Regeneration on the proposed foodstore on Chadwick Street.
In summary, the report referred to a reduced offer for the site from Kirkland and suggested four options open to the council:
1. Do nothing - accept the status quo
2. Accept the reduced offer
3. Re-market the site
4. Undertake direct delivery in collaboration with new strategic partners Carillion and CBRE
The director recommended that councillors should decline the Kirkland offer and choose option 4.
After a short closed session councillors chose option 4.

The Civic Society submitted a written response to the report prior to the meeting re-stating our position that we support a foodstore on the Chadwick street site with the condition that an independent urban design study is carried out with local community involvement before work commences.
The society has evidence that the "strong public support" referred to in the director's report may be true for the foodstore but is not the case with the associated traffic/public realm proposals which involve more traffic lights (at the Littlewoods junction), guard rails and a widening of Stockport Road at the Hollins. These proposals were not part of the Kirkland consultation.
