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.

Deputy leader of the Commons Nigel Griffiths has quit the government in protest at plans to renew the UK's Trident nuclear weapons system. He resigned "with a heavy heart but a clear conscience" ahead of Wednesday's House of Commons vote on the plan. Although a Labour rebellion is expected the Tories back renewal of Trident, making a government defeat unlikely. Mr Griffiths, an MP since 1987 and deputy Commons leader since 2005, previously served as a trade and industry minister. Jim Devine, a parliamentary private secretary, has also indicated he will resign over the issue.
