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.

Kick in the teeth for the Government as hundreds sign NHS dentist petition

People queued up throughout the day at Kingsbridge show last Saturday to support the Liberal Democrat petition calling for National Health dentistry to be available for all. Over 400 people signed and were vehement in their protests at the current situation. Not one National Health dentist in the South Hams, or Torbay currently has a vacancy which leaves a stark choice for those needing dental treatment - either pay to go private or go without.
