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.

View from the Chamber

Cllr David Dickinson led the Lib Dems on Shepway Council during some very difficult times. He did so with great dignity and integrity. I'm sure that I speak on behalf of the local Party when I thank him for his marvellous contribution.

Council Row over Bedford Road planning application

A row has broken out over Guildford Borough Council's proposal to submit a planning application for a block of 142 flats to be built on council-owned land at Bedford Road. Lib Dem councillors Gordon Bridger and Vivienne Johnson accused the Council's Conservative Executive at last night's full Council meeting of breaching the council's own draft policies on parking standards and affordable housing. The Bedford Road land is due to be sold to help finance the Council's redevelopment of the Civic Hall, and the Council is seeking planning permission to enhance the value of the land.
