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.

Commenting on the 1.5% cut in interest rates, Liberal Democrat Shadow Chancellor, Vince Cable said: "Naturally we welcome this bold move, which now amounts to a 2% cut in rates in under a month. This is exactly what we've been calling for." Vince Cable went on to say: "It is much more radical than had been anticipated in the City, and goes a long way to restoring my faith that the Bank of England can react strongly in an emergency. The next priority is to ensure that this cut is passed on to borrowers. It is very clear that the conditions attached to the Government's recapitalisation of the banks were far too lax.
