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.

Lib Dems target failing children
Schools should be given cash incentives to take underperforming children, says Lib Dem shadow education secretary Sarah Teather. Ms Teather told the Lib Dem conference that children's school prospects depend too much on what their parents earn. She wants more funds targeted at children who underachieve, rather than just focusing money on deprived areas. The "pupil premium" could encourage good schools to take on challenging children rather than leaving them to go to "sink schools".
