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.

Government unveils Lords reform plans
The government has unveiled its long-awaited Lords reform plans, proposing cutting the number of peers to 540. MPs will choose - probably in early March - between seven options for reform, based on different proportions of elected and appointed peers. Instead of going through the division lobbies, MPs will indicate their preferences in order on a ballot paper using the Alternative Vote system. The White Paper does not detail how peers might be elected, but Jack Straw said elections were likely to take place at the same time as the European elections and to be based on an "open" list. The White Paper does not propose removing bishops from the Lords.
