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.

Local LibDems push for a National Conference Centre in Stamford
At Stamford's Local Area Forum held on July 17th at Stamford Town Hall, the proposal for a National Conference Centre for Stamford was raised by the Liberal Democrats. Cllr Maureen Jalili (LibDem) criticised the lack of specific economic development plans by SKDC when she raised the need for alternative employment opportunities. Stamford LibDems have long argued that tourism as a basis for continued employment and growth was not guaranteed and that Stamford needs to ensure economic growth for its future generations, rather than become simply a retirement town. We are pleased to report that SKDC have now agreed to seek funding for a feasibility study on this.
