A wrecking ball next to the words save our green belt

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. 

Save our green belt

Do you agree with us that the green belt needs to be preserved, brownfield sites prioritised, and schools, transport, and GP places guaranteed?

Labour have failed to tackle inequality

Impassioned Liberal Democrats argue for greater efforts to fight for equality: Last week the second reading of the Equalities Bill took place in Parliament. The bill attempts to tackle the high levels of inequality that have increased under the current Government. Lib Dem Spokesperson for Youth and Equalities, Lynne Featherstone, declared in her opening remarks "our quest for, and commitment to, a fairer and more open and equal world" is "the passion that drives and motivates Liberal Democrats".

At last - justice for Gurkhas

Reacting to the Government's announcement that all Gurkha veterans with four years' service would be allowed to move to the UK, Liberal Democrat Leader Nick Clegg said he was "absolutely thrilled". The announcement follows a key House of Commons vote led by the Liberal Democrats that the Government lost. It outlined rules that will allow Gurkhas who retired before 1997 with four years service to settle here with their immediate families.
