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.

Why I voted FOR a Referendum on the Treaty of Lisbon

Last November at the end of the Queens Speech, and again on the 4th March, I voted for a Referendum to be held on the simple 'In or Out of the EU' question.

Lib Dems committed to Fair Votes - Campbell

Lib Dem Leader, Sir Menzies Campbell, has stressed his "absolute" commitment to proportional representation. He said that there should be no doubt about his commitment to PR for "every election". Proportional representation has been a cornerstone of Lib Dem policy since the party's formation.
