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.

This comes after a report was presented at a recent meeting of the Greater Manchester Transport Authority giving recommendations that as of December 2008, the 17.41 from Manchester Victoria would either stop at Moston Train Station or Littleborough in a bid to improve the spread of train arrivals.
