Lib Dems Welcome more Transparency on Councillors' Allowances
Local Lib Dems have welcomed more detail being given to the public on councillors expenses and how much being spent on what by whom on the council
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.

Whatever Gordon Brown or David Cameron say, their new enthusiasm for changing our political system is deeply unconvincing.
Gordon Brown has suffered a devastating blow with a new opinion poll showing Labour's support in a general election falling behind the Liberal Democrats for the first time in 22 years.
The ICM poll for The Sunday Telegraph puts the Liberal Democrats in second place for the first time in the party's 21 year history.
Warm words and rhetoric are easy. We must seize the mood and enact a radical programme of reform within 100 days.
