Dear Stockport Borough Council,

Please could you let me know the current situation with regards to Offerton Precinct. Has an end user been found for the proposed supermarket? The planning inspector was assured that there was an end user several years ago, yet we appear to be no nearer development of this dangerous eyesore.

Yours faithfully,

Dear FOI Officer,

But, I attended the public inquiry and I heard the Head of Planning, Steve Burns, guarantee to the planning inspector that there was an end user for the site. Did he fail to deal honestly with the Inquiry Inspector?

Yours sincerely,

Sheila Oliver
