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.

Door to Door More Important Than Labour's Little Games

Bedford's Liberal Democrats are disappointed and saddened by Labour's "cynical abuse of Door to Door" in their attempt to re-write history. "I don't know which I am more angry about," said Liberal Democrat Leader Michael Headley. "Labour's ludicrous attempt to re-write history or their continued cynical abuse of Door to Door." "Door to Door are far too valuable to this borough to be kicked around like this." Said Michael Headley. "Labour chose to play political games with Door to Door when they tore away their funding. Now they are rubbing salt into the wounds by dragging it up again. And of course now they are trying to re-write the history books and claim credit for saving Door to Door when it was they who were its greatest persecutors." "They seem to think that the people of Bedford have short memories." Continued Cllr Headley.
