Getting around

SourceStops and stations: DfT, NaPTAN (National Public Transport Access Nodes).
Broadband: Ofcom Connected Nations, July 2025, fixed broadband coverage by postcode.
How it is worked outRail stations within 2 km and bus stops within 1 km of the town centre; straight-line distances.
Broadband is an average across the 2,859 postcodes in SK6, SK4, SK7.
- Broadband is an average of postcodes, not of homes: check the postcode you are looking at, it can differ street by street.
Gigabit broadband can be ordered at 92% of premises, and superfast (30 Mbit/s) at 98%. Average of postcodes, not of homes.
Safety and environment

Flood: Environment Agency, Flood Map for Planning (Rivers and Sea), read from its open download. © Environment Agency copyright and/or database right 2025. Open Government Licence v3.0..
Air: DEFRA, Pollution Climate Mapping (PCM) 1 km background maps.
How it is worked outCrime is street-level crime inside the town's outline over September 2025 to August 2026, per 1,000 people (Census 2021).
Flood: at the town centre the area is in flood zone 1 for rivers and the sea on the Environment Agency's Flood Map for Planning (not in zone 2 or 3, the lowest of the three).
Air: an annual mean on DEFRA's 1 km map at the town centre.
- A town centre with shops and pubs records more crime per resident than a suburb.
- Flood: surface-water risk is unknown here, we don't hold that map. One point says little about a whole town, and the zones describe the area, not a building: check the address on the Environment Agency's long-term flood risk service.
- Air: a background figure, not the air beside a busy road.
- These are for the town centre; an address can differ.
Childcare

SourceOfsted, Childcare providers and inspections (the early years register): the number of nurseries and what Ofsted found.
Fees: each nursery's own fees page, read by 19 October 2026.
Coram Family and Childcare, Childcare Survey 2026: average nursery price for 50 hours a week after the working-parent entitlement (paying for 20 hours), by region
How it is worked outThe day rate range counts only nurseries that publish a day rate; the middle is the median of those.
- A nursery that does not publish its fees has none held here, so its price is unknown.
Key dates, Stockport

SourceEach council's own published admissions dates, held on the dates page.
How it is worked outThe next dates ahead for Reception and Year 7 applications: applications opening and closing, offer day, and the reply deadline.
- A date marked (about) or (earliest) is worked out from the offer day under the national rules; the council has not announced it.
