There’s growing momentum that there’s a proper possibility now of Glossop going into greater Manchester due to a white paper in parliament on restructuring local councils.
Be either under Tameside or Stockport.
My opinion is that it can’t come soon enough especially the sh*t show of high peak council. Currently lived in no man’s land for 40 odd years it’d be nice to be welcomed back into civilisation. I can walk out my front door and be in GM in five minutes. Yet being Governed by Buxton, Matlock , Chesterfield and Derby. As I say can’t come soon enough.
Vast majority I’ve spoken to are all for it saying that we are mostly ex Mancs where I live .
Worth a debate on here for your thoughts.

Cheers the Snake.

We live just inside the Derbyshire border and a lot of hospital appointments are for Chesterfield and Derby which are miles away. Bit daft really when Stepping Hill is only 20 minutes away.

Yes exactly this …I’ve been lucky to be treated at Tameside, stepping hill and Christie’s but many I know do travel the length of Derbyshire for mainly specialist treatment Glossop does share it’s treatment with Tameside NHS thankfully, just another reason to make the break.
 
Woah, just hold on a minute.
Don't we have a say in this ? We don't want any old village dumped on us.

Surely you have to apply, set out your credentials so to speak. Only tinkers just park up without so much as a by your leave..

I think you should tell us why you would like to be part of our wonderful City.
We may, or may not, agree to allow you in.

Can't you choose where you have any treatment?
I live near Glastonbury but have my Crohns treatment at the MRI.

Yeah, we've not got over having Stalybridge dumped on us. 'Kinell, yer know what's next? Those bits of Trafford that butt on to Manchester will be touting for inclusion just to get Old Trafford Manchester geographically correct.

I’m sure you won’t mind … Glossop is a huge blue enclave, after all these years of being called a refugee we’d like to the tables.

Your council tax pays for the Derbyshire services, Stockport folk pay for Stepping Hill.
Are you local?
