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.

The last few years have been hugely successful for the Liberal Democrats in Rochdale - gaining seats across the board and of course we have gained an excellent local MP in Paul Rowen. A lot of nonsense has been spoken by the Opposition, last year we had a myriad of excuses as to why the Conservatives and Labour abandoned their principles and joined together in a Coalition. That is history now and rightly so - the Liberal Democrats put together an exciting manifesto for this Borough and you are seeing us keep our promises.
Heywood Councillor Peter Rush has added his voice to those wanting to see the banning of over the counter sale of fireworks in the Borough. Councillor Rush's call came just months after a Motion went to Rochdale Council making the same call.
