Save our green belt
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.
Find our more about the local plan on our frequently asked questions page.

New Poll Shows that Only the Lib Dems Can Beat Conservatives and Reform in West Surrey
The latest MRP poll from JL Partners shows the clear choice facing voters on 7th May. The new West Surrey authority will either be run by local Lib Dems, ready to fight for you, or by a chaotic coalition made up of the Conservatives and Reform.
