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.

Key issues for the coming election will be focused around the themes of freedom, fairness and trust and will include proposals for an Equality Act, which will outlaw discrimination based on sexual orientation.
