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.

Blair gets Education Bill through but only with Conservative support

Tony Blair's was forced to rely on Conservative MPs to force through his education bill introducing a new breed of trust schools independent from direct local authority control. The Liberal Democrats opposed the Bill as did a total of 52 Labour MPs, leaving the prime minister dependent on David Cameron's Conservatives to ensure the bill won its second reading with a majority of 343. Only weeks ago, loyalists such as Stephen Byers warned that Mr Blair's position would be untenable if he had to rely on Tory votes to win the measure.
