Work on a "buzzing" new £60 million neighbourhood centred around a historic mill in Stockport is set to start next month, it has been announced.

Plans for the transformation of Weir Mill on King Street West on the banks of the River Mersey - hailed as a "cornerstone" of the £1billion town centre transformation -were given the go-ahead last Autumn.

They include 253 new flats, 87 of which will be within the existing mill buildings with 167 in two new-build blocks.

The plans for the mill, parts of which date back to the 1700s, have been brought forward by developer Capital & Centric (C&C) and are backed by Stockport Council and the Stockport Mayoral Development Corporation.
