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.

Housing in East Grinstead - A statement from Serena Tierney

No one wants 2500 houses or significant numbers of additional houses in East Grinstead or indeed anywhere in Mid Sussex. Liberal Democrats are keen to protect the existing character of East Grinstead and ensure the existing town benefits from investment in infrastructure after years of neglect. It must also be stated that if there are to be any extra homes, then such houses must not be a bolt on to serve Crawley but bring benefits such as Town Centre regeneration and local jobs. I would like to clarify that, as indicated above, Lib Dems on both Town and County Councils have voted against the current Tory plans for 2500 houses as providing insufficient protection for the town with insufficient safeguards on infrastructure.
