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.

The proceeds would support third world orphans. Knowing that genuine charities provide plastic bags with their name clearly printed Robin was suspicious and investigated. He found that Staffordshire County Council Trading Standards had warned about the company behind these leaflets. Other members of the Focus Team received similar leaflets from a different company and again, Trading Standard have issued warnings about them.
