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.

Scarborough and Whitby Lib Dems have welcomed the party's new high opinion poll rating: 24%, according to a Guardian/ICM poll. The poll shows the Tories support flatlining in the low 30's with 'Dave' Cameron's largely uncritical press coverage making no difference to Tory fortunes, and the Labour party hitting a new low in public esteem.
