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.

Government Departments failing to make Green travel choices
Government departments are failing to reduce unnecessary travel or investigate green alternatives to air travel. The Tandberg report, published today, found departments are failing to adequately record travel and rarely ask civil servants to justify their journeys, for example by asking if they had considered tele or video conferencing as an alternative.

Farron meets with Guild over the plight of pub owners
Local MP Tim Farron yesterday met with the Guild of Master Victuallers to discuss the plight of the tenant publican.

During the meeting Farron pledged to write to the Department for Business Enterprise and Regulatory Reform to ask for a meeting with Secretary of State John Hutton.
