Vacancy Rash: Vacant Sites and Buildings in Stockport
Vacancy Rash stems from research into the
extent of vacant land and buildings within Stockport town centre. At the same time as the council plans to build many thousands of homes on green belt land around the town, it presides over widespread site and building vacancy, whilst at the same time frittering away hundreds of millions of pounds on highways projects. The town centre is becoming little more than a roundabout, to which the car-bound navigate merely to connect with somewhere else. Vacancy Rash comments on this situation, mapping empty land and buildings within the town centre. Sadly the Stockport Planner has contacted a disease which may be terminal. |   |
