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.

In a little over two weeks the people of Cheadle will be deciding on who to represent them in Westminster. Let's help keep this seat in the Liberal fold and help keep the Tories out.

For information on how you can help please call Simon Davey, Cheadle's Caseworker and Researcher on 0776 334 1118 or see below.
