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.

LOCAL MRSA RATES FALLING SLOWLY BUT STILL DEEPLY WORRYING
Asked to comment on the recent figures showing a nationwide increase in deaths from MRSA, Woking Liberal Democrats' Parliamentary Spokesperson, Anne Lee, said "I have been approached by a patient from St Peters who suffered from MRSA after an operation. He is absolutely determined that others should not suffer the same fate. Having been prescribed many medicines, he was only cured when he turned to an alternative method and used a manuka honey. The photos he took of the toilets in St Peters Hospital were disturbing, but he was promised that they would be cleaned."
