Infected blood scandal report: Government must move at speed
Responding to the report into the timeliness of compensation for those affected by the infected blood scandal, Liberal Democrat Cabinet Office spokesperson Sarah Olney MP said:
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.

Responding to the report into the timeliness of compensation for those affected by the infected blood scandal, Liberal Democrat Cabinet Office spokesperson Sarah Olney MP said:
I believe local politics should be about listening, taking action, and keeping things down-to-earth. No fuss – just community, kindness, and getting things done – and I look forward to working with residents and businesses to make a difference.
