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.

DISGRACEFUL HOUSING POLICY UNDER CURRENT LABOUR GOVERNMENT
Speaking at today's mass lobby of Parliament by Council tenants, Paul Holmes,addressed the failures of the current housing policy led by the Labour Party: "I can understand why some tenants MIGHT want to get rid of the Council as their landlord since some estates might be very poorly run.
