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.

Party President Simon Hughes MP has welcomed the results of the local elections as a further sign that the Liberal Democrats are making progress in all areas of Britain. The final results saw the Tories with a net gain of 316 councillors and Labour with a net loss of 319. It is unfortunate that we made no progress in Congleton but nationally the Liberal Democrats had a net gain of two councillors and one additional council. The sixth term won by the Lib Dems in Sutton is a record for the party.

Many people will have seen TV reports about our spring and autumn conferences, but too many of our members are unaware that they can also attend, either for the whole conference, or just for a day.
