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.

In both wards there was a massive response from residents. Nearly half of those who responded said they have either been the victim of or witnessed a crime in the last year. A third of the victims did not report incidents to the Police. We were pleased to find that most of those who did report the incident were satisfied with the speed and quality of the Police's response.
