A wrecking ball next to the words save our green belt

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. 

Save our green belt

Do you agree with us that the green belt needs to be preserved, brownfield sites prioritised, and schools, transport, and GP places guaranteed?

Mickey Mouse Council

Tuesday's full Council meeting had very few people in the public gallery. At least this Mayor does not kick off proceedings by warning the "public" they will be thrown out if they make a noise. Perhaps the attitude of the previous incumbent has turned the public off.

Recycling in Flats Set to Rise after Success of Lib Dem Initiative

A Liberal Democrat initiative to help Bedford Borough residents in blocks of flats to recycle their waste is set to be rolled out across the Borough after recycling rates rocketed at a number of sites included in a Council pilot scheme. The improvements saw recycling rates increase by up to 160%. The scheme was funded via a successful budget proposal by the Lib Dems, who have long called for improvements to remove the barriers which prevent many who live in blocks of flats from recycling their household waste.
