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.

An EU scheme to cut greenhouse gases undermined incentives for countries to pollute less, a report revealed today. The survey of the Union's emissions trading scheme (ETS) revealed major shortcomings in the initiative. Under the scheme, power stations, refineries and heavy industry across Europe were given a limit on how much CO2 they could emit. However, figures show that countries across Europe were given too many pollution allowances or permits by their governments, reducing incentives to cut pollution.
