Government finally listens to Lib Dems on Ofwat
After reports that the Government will scrap water industry regulator Ofwat, Liberal Democrat MPs, Tom Morrison and Lisa Smart called the decision a real step forward, if long overdue.
The Government has doubled the housebuilding target for Stockport, weakened the protections on a third of our precious green belt, and is forcing the Council through Ministerial Directives and threats to adopt a Local Plan which will let developers target green belt first.
We oppose this government’s ‘developers charter’ and need your voice. Do you agree with us that the green spaces that make our area special need to be preserved, and new housing should first be built on brownfield sites, after the infrastructure is provided with schools, improved transport, and GP places guaranteed? Help us send a message to Government and make Labour listen to local people.
