Introduction
This Neighbourhood Action Plan (NAP) has been developed for Woodley and Bredbury by Stockport Homes in partnership with customers, services and organisations working and living in the neighbourhood. The neighbourhood is located within Stockport Homes’ East Area Housing Team, the area is managed by one Neighbourhood Housing Officer (NHO) and contact details are shown on the front page.
The NAP covers two primary housing estates; Oldham Drive, Woodley and Goyt Valley, Bredbury and a number of dispersed properties across the neighbourhood. Stockport Homes manages 659 properties, including 62 bungalows, 289 flats, 277 houses and 31 maisonettes. In addition Stockport Homes manages 26 garage units and landscaped areas within the neighbourhood.
NAPs are influenced by a range of existing polices, strategies and action plans at national, regional and local levels. The information used to develop the plan links to Stockport Council’s strategic plans and supports Place and People strategic objectives. The NAP has been developed by analysing data about the area, looking at current and developing policies and plans in the area, results of consultation with customers and talking to other partners and services about their plans for their areas.
Stockport Homes will work with its customers and partners to deliver the NAP by taking account of it within business and financial planning, by co-ordinating resources on agreed priorities within the neighbourhood. Stockport Homes and partners will work together to maximize any external funding opportunities.

Neighbourhood and Customer Profiles
Bredbury and Woodley lie to the east of Stockport Town Centre, the properties managed by Stockport Homes are located within primary residential areas, however the surrounding areas provide a mix of industrial, retail and commercial areas. The housing areas are located south off the A560, a main thoroughfare leading to Hyde, Mottram and the M67 motorway. Strategically, the location of Bredbury and Woodley is good, within easy access of the M60 junction 25, approximately 20 minutes from Manchester Airport by car. Bredbury and Woodley have two railway stations served by the Manchester to Sheffield line, and a direct rail link into Manchester City Centre and the Peak District.
Bredbury and Woodley have distinctive centres, providing a range of local shops, businesses and supermarkets. There are a number of small open spaces within the neighbourhood providing a range of formal and informal facilities.

The NAP covers two wards, Bredbury, Woodley and Bredbury Green (Oldham Drive Estate) and Romiley (Goyt Valley Estate) and one Area Committee, Werneth.
As of March 2011 Stockport Homes holds customer information on age (96%), ethnicity (96%) and disability (estimated 65%). The information has been collated over a number of years, from housing application forms, sign ups, questionnaires and more recently (in summer 2009) a Tenants’ Needs Survey.
The following information provides data on customers living within the neighbourhood. Of the 714 customers which data is held living in Bredbury and Woodley, 4% are from a Black Minority Ethnic (BMW) background, which is slightly lower than the Borough average. Of the 714 customers, 28% indicated a disability, which is the highest percentage of customers within neighbourhoods managed by Stockport Homes. The majority of customers are aged 64 plus (40%) and there is a low percentage of customers aged 16-24 (4%).
Stockport Homes customers are involved in many ways to ensure that all customers have the chance to get involved and influence the decisions and services received that affect their home and neighbourhood. In addition to a range of ways customers can get involved, Woodley benefits from an active Tenants’ and Residents’ Association at Oldham Drive Estate.
