How many banks in Marple is easy to answer and doesn't even need to worry about defining what "Marple" is.  Because for every definition the answer is the same. None.

Two building societies though.

Sad, and yet another reason to shop elsewhere.

And unsurprisingly Lidl are actively looking for sites across Stockport and all the way out towards new mills.

Phone boxes - none
Banks - none, but there are branches of Building Societies (Nationwide and Vernon)
Cash points - at ASDA, Texaco Garage, new co-op, old NatWest, ...
Public Toilets - well, there are plenty of bushes!
Car parks - actually, there are quite a lot

We could do with a bicycle shop ... Wheels?

How many speed humps/cushions are there in Marple?
Title: Re: Re: How many other things are in Marple?

Probably more speed humps in Marple than the combined total of pubs in Marple, Stockport and half of Manchester

You mean Pete at Pedal Power?  Have used Pete before and really liked him.  Although he's clearly too popular as I need to get my son's bike repaired and he's booked up all through May!
