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.

"Gordon should tell supermarkets to play fair!" - Farron
Local MP Tim Farron is urging Prime Minister Gordon Brown to force the buyers for multinational supermarkets to pay a fair price for meat in light of the current concerns over foot and mouth. As it stands, farmers are permitted to take their animals to slaughter, but are now being forced to accept a price well below what they would normally accept because they are not permitted to return with the animals.
