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.

Successful stalls in Wombourne and Albrighton

Fund-raising stalls have been held at the Wombourne Carnival and Albrighton Fair. And very successful they were too. In very hot sunshine in Wombourne on July 2nd there was a continuous queue of people which lasted three hours. Albrighton on 8th July was much cooler yet still they came to the Lib Dem stall. A Shropshire Star reporter decided the stall was the place to be and took numerous photos with Penn member June Hemsley as the star. A number of Albrighton ladies of a blue rinse nature opened their purses to support the Lib Dems urging us to fight Labour as the local Tories were either invisible or useless. Yes madam we will. We will use your donation to defeat Labour in Park Ward. We have already trounced the Tories and they are no longer in the running!
