A huge thank you to Deputy Mayor of Stockport, Cllr David Meller, for taking the time to come down and visit us at the C-Street Indie Market on Sunday. ❤️
We had a really positive conversation about Castle Street, the challenges we’ve been up against and, most importantly, what we’re trying to achieve through C-Street.
We talked about our ideas for the future, the need to bring footfall back into the district centre, support our existing independents, encourage new businesses and create more reasons for people to spend time on Castle Street.
Sunday was a perfect example of what we know this street is capable of. When we create something for the community to come out for, people show up. There’s an appetite for Castle Street to feel busy, vibrant and full of life again - and that’s exactly what C-Street is working towards.
We also spoke briefly about Twisted Eden and how the business is evolving. With more v**e shops opening locally, we made the decision to diversify and transition towards a modern general store; introducing fresh produce, pantry staples, refill cleaning, natural health products and more. It’s about adapting, listening to our community and becoming something that Castle Street actually needs.
That same principle sits at the heart of C-Street.
We want to listen to the people who live here, work here and use this street. We want to create opportunities for small businesses, bring people together through events and work alongside the council and other organisations to tackle some of the bigger challenges facing our district centre.
There is a lot of work still to do, but we genuinely believe Castle Street can thrive again.
Thank you, Councillor Meller, for coming along, listening to us and taking an interest in what we’re building.
C-Street is about showing what Castle Street can be - and then helping to make that the everyday reality.
