Marple Hub – What On Earth Has Gone On?

Freedom of Information, LibDem Councillor Mark Hunter, LibDem Councillors Posted on Thu, December 04, 2025 17:55

Dear Mr Green

I should like to come to your office at a time to suit you to read the above files.

Quite a few things are worrying me –

  1. Does Marple need levelling up money?
  2. Were the relevant criteria for such funding met.
  3. How did a young mum with apparently no work experience and who only became a councillor in 2024 get to hold the sort of cabinet position Michaela Meikle has, apart from her mum being a cabinet member?
  4. The decision was made by the council leader and his wife, Mark Hunter who corruptly gave us the A555 and Councillor Colin Macalister.  The council leader attacked me verbally in Romiley precinct on November 1st, I assume to try to stop me looking into this matter further.

I am sure Vicki Bates will tell me I can’t see the files, but she has been covering up quite a bit of corruption for quite a long time, so I take anything she says with a Nantwich of salt.

Kind regards

“Council “chiefs said the research was intended to ensure their consultation on the building of the road reflected their duty towards equality and social inclusion.

Taxpayers in Stockport, Cheshire East and Manchester City have been asked to fill in the ‘social inclusion’ questionnaire, which critics have labelled as a ‘load of rubbish’.

It comes a week after Communities Secretary Eric Pickles called for councils to end the collection of ‘intrusive’ questionnaires about sexuality and religion.

The survey reported on by the Daily Telegraph, sent out as part of a consultation into the A6 to Manchester Airport relief road, asks participants to disclose their gender, race, religion and sexual preferences”. Daily Mail

Stockport Council Can’t Maintain Its Records Properly.

A £350m roadscheme which involves, amongst other things, diverting the fuel pipeline which supplies Manchester Airport and dodgy Stockport Council can’t even provide one document about this. They have a legal obligation to maintain information in an accessible form.

Given the long history of planning corruption and incompetence at Stockport Council, this is very worrying.
