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.

'Council should save £1/3 million, by cutting management fat and slashing spending on spin, and improve services instead' say Lib Dems

At the meeting of the Guildford Borough Council to decide the rate of council tax for next year, Liberal Democrat councillors proposed radical cuts in the Council's top management team together with a cut in council spin. The saving of over £1/3 million should then be used to fund improved services, whilst keeping the increase in council tax at the Conservative's figure of 2.46%.
