Stockport’s council leader Mark Roberts is sounding the alarm, urging new PM Andy Burnham to act fast—fair funding, Metrolink expansion, and urgent hospital repairs are non-negotiable. With Stockport booming and infrastructure already in place, Roberts argues the borough’s potential is being stifled by chronic underfunding. Stepping Hill Hospital’s £138 million repair backlog is a crisis—buildings are crumbling, patient care at risk. Roberts demands immediate investment and a long-term healthcare plan, appealing to Burnham’s local ties to secure the resources Stockport desperately needs to thrive.
