Stockport Council says many resident enquiries about the brook are “repetitive,” while locals insist their concerns deserve answers.
The Romiley Gazette has continued to highlight residents’ concerns about Padden Brook, raising questions over flooding and subsidence risks, tipping, and the protected area’s long-term environmental health.
Stockport Council has confirmed that correspondence relating to Padden Brook is being reviewed by its Information Governance team. According to the council, a number of enquiries have been categorised as repetitive or without new evidence, meaning they may not be taken forward in full.
This approach has prompted mixed reactions in the community. Some residents feel their concerns risk being sidelined, while others agree that the council should prioritise its resources on actionable issues.
The Gazette will continue to monitor the situation and invites readers to share their views on whether Padden Brook is receiving the attention it deserves.
