We want to ensure that we not only continue to strive for a ‘greener’ Stockport but that we are at the forefront of action for other local authorities in securing a more sustainable environment.

Stockport Council has a strong track record of taking action on the environmental issues. We recognise that in securing a better quality of life for everyone now and into the future we need to ensure that the environment is protected and enhanced whilst also meeting our social, cultural and economic needs.

Across our service and policy areas we strive to provide a clean and safe environment for the community, deliver sustainable development, help prevent local pollution, protect our parks and wildlife areas, reduce our contribution to climate change and help the community to do the same.
