IT promises to become one of the town's best places to live - but some say its construction has turned their area of Stockport into a 'nightmare!
On the banks of the River Mersey in Edgeley, Springmount Mill is one of the town's new premium property developments, creating more than 200 homes within walking distance of the exciting transformation taking place in the centre of Stockport.
Construction is now well under way at the site on Northgate Road, where new one, two and three-bedroom apartments are being built, along with car parking spaces, electric-vehicle charging points and cycle storage.
The entrance to the construction site, on Northgate Road, is next to residential streets and a primary school, with nearly every inch of pavement space used by cars.
The influx of workers has made finding a space even more difficult and locals say they're having to put up with abuse and anti-social behaviour from contractors working on the buildings.
Asa Caton is a council lor for the Edgeley ComAssociation munity who lives opposite the development, which is being led by Carpenter Investments and Carpenter Build.
He's got a back-ground in construction, with 25 years of experience in the industry. He claims that at Springmount Mill basic health and safety measures such as the use of high-vis jackets and hard hats - are not always being followed.
He also claims to have seen a worker pouring vodka into a soft drink bottle and has concerns about drug use around the area.
He told the Local Democracy Reporting Service: "It's continual issues with the developer in terms of parking and all the site traffic. I've had the parking problems raised by residents.
