Stockport
Sunday Times hails Stockport as the best place to live in the North West
Last year consumer group Which? recognised Stockport as one of the 12 best places in the UK to live during retirement, the borough recognised as one of the country’s 12 best places for first time buyers to get on the property ladder by the Times newspaper and the historic Underbanks area named one of the 25 best places in the country to shop by the Telegraph.
Now The Sunday Times has given Stockport a glowing recommendation after naming the borough in its annual Sunday Times Best Places to Live guide.
It comes at an exciting time for Stockport as 2024 is set to be their biggest year yet with Stockport Council leading the way with an ambitious £1bn development and regeneration programme that aims to build on the great attributes of the borough.

It takes its name from the River Tame which was the traditional border between Lancashire and Cheshire. Tameside was at the heart of the Industrial Revolution and was once a centre for cotton, engineering, coal mining and hatting. Among the famous personalities born in the borough are Sir Geoff Hurst, Mick Hucknall, Kathy Staff, Howard Donald and Ricky Hatton.

Beautiful countryside landscapes and multicultural city life
Derbyshire is an area of great natural beauty with rugged, peat-covered moorlands and magnificent limestone dales, with picturesque towns and villages, historic churches and some grand houses. It is the location of Britain’s first National Park – the Peak District National Park, a popular place for walkers and climbers.
Derby itself offers the best of both worlds – multicultural city life on the doorstep of a stunning rural environment. Whether you enjoy your shopping or leisurely sightseeing trips, Derbyshire’s lively towns offer a delightful array of attractions.
