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.

Zahid Shah acts on dangerous broken glass

While campaigning in the Reansway Square area of St Peters' Ward local Liberal Democrat Zahid Shah discovered fly-tipping and dangerous broken glass. In order to keep the area tidy and safe Zahid reported the mess into the Council's Street Scene Division for immediate clearing. Zahid Shah said"Discovering this sort of mess is typical of a Labour controlled council ward. The three Labour councillors are rarely seen in the area and do not appear interested in clearing up dangerous fly-tipping. Increasingly residents of St Peters' Ward are discovering that if they want something done the only people to contact are the Liberal Democrats."
