The Greater Manchester borough that is home to region's most AND least deprived areas
24.01.2022 - 11:29 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Stockport is home to both the most and least deprived areas in Greater Manchester - and the gap between the haves and have nots appears to be getting wider.
According to a new council report, Brinnington and Central ward has the highest levels of poverty while Bramhall South and Woodford - just five miles away - is the most affluent.
Entitled ‘Fair and Inclusive Stockport', it finds that - while the borough overall is close to the national average for factors ors such as employment, income and health - there are ‘pockets of very concentrated deprivation’.

It means Stockport is more polarised than the vast majority of local authorities nationally, particularly when looking at the most deprived 1pc.
Four small areas are among the most deprived 1pc nationally - two in Brinnington and two in Lancashire Hill . That is one more than in 2015, when there were just three.
This worrying trend was questioned by Councillor Shan Alexander when the council's communities and housing scrutiny committee met to consider the report on Monday night.
