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.

Concerns over their siting typically centre around health and aesthetic issues, while people's increasing use of mobile phones, and particularly new 3G services, constantly drives the need for new masts.

Borough Lib Dems give thumbs down to Tory development plans
Lib Dems on the Borough Council have criticised Tory plans to add 14,000 new homes round the edges of the town - in Beaulieu Park, New Hall and Broomfield. Lib Dem leader Cllr.
