Transport for Greater Manchester has announced a new bus service connecting Woodford Garden Village directly to Stockport town centre. This new route is part of a wider expansion of the Bee Network across Greater Manchester and aims to provide better transport for residents in the southern part of the borough.
The new service will be joined by improved bus routes in southern Stockport that are specifically designed to make it easier for children to get to school. These changes help fix long-standing gaps in the local transport network that have made it difficult for people to travel for work and daily needs.
Councillor Peter Crossen has previously criticised the lack of transport in the area, noting that public services have not kept up with the hundreds of new homes being built. Residents at the former aerodrome site have often raised concerns about being isolated from essential services and the rest of the town.
The site was developed by Redrow and Harrow Estates, who have faced pressure to ensure the community has the right facilities. This latest expansion of the local network is intended to reduce traffic congestion and provide a reliable alternative to driving for the growing population.
