People living in tents in Stockport town centre moved with possession order

People living in tents in Stockport town centre have been moved on after Stockport Homes and the council claimed possession of the land.

Tents were set up on Edward Street outside the offices of Stockport Homes and opposite the town hall in May, with people found to be living inside.

But the social-housing provider and council applied to reclaim the land through a possession order, with the tents being removed yesterday evening (August 14).
