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.

MOTOCROSS near Eaglescliffe
In common with hundreds of other Eaglescliffe residents, I can hear the noise from the motocross track near Eaglescliffe, otherwise known as Riverside Lodge. Dozens of people have complained to the Council that they can no longer enjoy being out of doors while the track is operating on many days of the week over much of the year. The operator says that he "aims to educate people living nearby" and "wants to come to a mutual agreement with residents", but we have still to hear from him.
