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.

Relaxing in the Recess

A favourite summer 'silly season' story for the national press is to keep running items on the 'disgracefully' long holidays MP's are having in expensive and exotic locations. Never one to let the facts ruin a good story they of course ignore anything that does not fit their pre conceived ideas. Journalists from national newspapers contacted my office to see where I was holidaying. Upon being told that I was camping on a farm in Devon they carefully left me out of their stories the next day!

I'm The Leader Fly Me

I was intending to write something about Wednesday's Planning and Environment Committee. It was cancelled, because of lack of business. So I thought I would comment on a couple of newspaper items that caught my eye.
