The proposals mark the next milestone as part of the UK’s largest town centre regeneration, building on the huge momentum already reshaping Stockport and reinforcing Mersey Square as a place where residents, visitors and families can meet, relax, walk, play and enjoy events throughout the year. The plans will reimagine Mersey Square as a greener,


safer and more people-focused public space, with modern public realm, a play space in the Bear Pit, new planting, high-quality materials, and improved walking and cycling routes that connect the Interchange, Merseyway, the Underbanks, and the wider town centre. At the heart of the plans is a sensitive and thoughtful transformation of the Bear Pit – one of Stockport’s most recognisable landmarks.
