Brinnington is a north-eastern suburb of Stockport in Greater Manchester. It is served by the town’s main railway station and is close to several bus routes.
Local ward councillors and Stockport Council officers have remained focused and persistent on delivering Brinnington’s master plan and subsequent regeneration. This will enhance an already great community.
