Stockport Council and MSV Housing Group began building 12 new supported homes at the former Bredbury Civic Hall site in Stockport, Greater Manchester, on February 17, 2026. This project will provide high-quality, modern housing specifically for local people with learning disabilities.
The new development on Agecroft Road will feature four self-contained apartments and communal spaces, with staff on-site 24 hours a day to provide support. To keep energy costs low, the building is designed with air-source heat pumps and high-grade insulation to reach the highest possible energy efficiency rating.
This work transforms a derelict site that has previously been a target for illegal rubbish dumping and anti-social behaviour. By creating these homes, the council aims to stop residents from having to move to distant care facilities away from their families and friends.
The project is being delivered through a partnership that includes Homes England and the Greater Manchester Combined Authority. Construction is expected to be completed by March 2027.
