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.

Epsom Liberal Democrats are campaigning to stop waste from other boroughs being brought to the transfer station in Blenheim Road. They have asked SITA (the waste company employed by Surrey County Council) to find a different route for the huge Britaniacrest lorries to use instead of Hook Road and Epsom town centre.
We have been overwhelmed by the number of replies to our recent survey and are still trying to get back to everyone who asked for further help or information.
Offenders will have to explain their actions to their victims under new Lib Dem plans to tackle anti-social behaviour.
The local NHS is in financial crisis locally as well as nationally. We seem to have been successful in our attempts to stop moves to transfer services away from the George Eliot but now we are pressing hard for the re-opening of the North Ward at the new Hinckley Community Hospital and for a commitment to proceed with Phase 2 of the new hospital. If you would like to get involved please let us know. We really do need everyone's help.
We were delighted to be at the opening of the new supermarket in Clifton Way. It has taken years to reach this point and we hope that this at last will be a turning point in everyone's fortunes. Hard on the heels comes the news that the Deveron Way Church is being given the go ahead to proceed with the proposed community centre which will open up onto the Clifton Way forecourt. For this to be successful everyone on Hollycroft will have to work together. Now we need to see progress on expanding the nearby medical facilities.
Someone, somewhere had the bright idea to impose a travellers transit site on the road to Stoke Golding, about 450 yards from Morrisons. Were you consulted because we certainly were not! In our view controversial proposals should be subject to public consultation at the earliest possible moment. We are hopeful that these particular plans have been dropped - but why pick on Stoke Road in the first place?
