Illegal parking, fly-tipping, and anti-social behaviour named among issues to be 'stamped out' in Stockport

Councillors in Stockport are raising concerns about illegal parking, fly-tipping, and anti-social behaviour, calling for stronger enforcement to tackle these issues. During a recent council meeting, they focused on problems near Edgeley Park football stadium, where illegal parking is blocking driveways and creating hazards.

The motion for tougher measures was agreed upon, aiming to improve the situation across the borough.
