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?

Post office campaign - Bring your letters to Tim Farron this Saturday!

Local MP Tim Farron is urging local residents to make a final push in the campaign to save our post offices, by delivering supportive letters for their post office to him this Saturday, and also by signing the petition. Tim will have a stall at the 'birdcage' in Kendal town centre where he hopes to recruit many more local residents to his campaign to keep open the 42 post offices in his constituency that are at risk of closure.

Nick Clegg MP

Clegg uses Prime Minister's Questions to criticise Government's treatment of armed forces

Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg has said that the Prime Minister "cannot even be bothered" to provide decent medical care for injured armed forces' personnel. Mr Clegg used his interventions during Prime Minister's Questions to accuse Gordon Brown of failing to invest in housing, equipment and care for soldiers serving in Iraq and Afghanistan and their families. Liberal Democrat Shadow Chancellor Vince Cable also spoke at PMQs, raising the issue of projected figures of one million house repossessions in the UK this year.
