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.

FREE EYE AND DENTAL CHECKS AS SCOTTISH PARLIAMENT BACKS LIB DEM POLICY
The Scottish Parliament has backed the introduction of free eye and dental checks for everyone in Scotland. The Liberal Democrat Partnership Agreement commitment to introduce free eye and dental checks is at the heart of the Smoking, Health and Social Care Bill which passed its final parliamentary hurdle today. The Bill will also see the introduction of a ban on smoking in public places. The Scottish Liberal Democrats were the first political party in Scotland to back the ban.

G8 PROTESTORS MAKE FOR EDINBURGH
Protesters began descending on Edinburgh this morning ahead of the G8 summit, to urge the leaders of the world's richest nations to act to tackle climate change and eliminate poverty in Africa. Hopes that the summit will boost aid to Africa were raised yesterday by George Bush's promise to double American aid to the continent. But agreement on climate change appears unlikely with the US seemingly refusing to accept the problem exists.
