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.

Roundabouts have gone in at both ends of Northfield Road. How does this affect you? One question we have put is where are the promised 20 mph signs?
We continue to urge a reduction of the 40mph limit and for more enforcement of the existing limits. We have to stop those who have no regard for the safety of themselves or others. Please let us know if you are interested in taking part in campaigning on this problem.
Over the years we have fought many battles to try to save our open spaces from development. The Coventry Road College playing fields, the Paddock, the Big Pit have all been saved but what is the long term future for the Wharf Pit ? The Conservative Council is determined to sell off the Brodick Road play area. We are equally determined to find every alternative means to stop this happening. The Langdale Road playing field improvements are obviously to be welcomed in principle but Brodick Road should not be sold to pay for it.
