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.

Brentwood Lib Dems are in a state of total disbelief since Conservative councillor Phil Baker confirmed that Essex County Council would press ahead with the Olympic Gateway Sculpture at Brook Street roundabout regardless of the fact that the borough will no longer be hosting the Mountain Bike Event at the 2012 Olympics. Furthermore, the Tory administration was not able to confirm the cost of the project.

Lib Dems demand Old House is saved
The Liberal Democrat group on Brentwood Borough Council are now demanding that the Conservative Administration reverse their decision and ensure that Old House is saved for use by local community groups. This follows representations from a number of groups who are very concerned about the practicalities of moving to the Merrymeade building in Sawyers Hall Lane which they feel has poor access to public transport and would not have a cafeé.

The latest DELGA newsletter has just been published and is being mailed to our members in time for the Federal Conference in Liverpool. It leads with the PinkNews poll which shows the LGBT vote in London is strongly behind Brian Paddick for London Mayor, running neck-and-neck with Ken Livingstone while Boris and the fringe candidates are clearly out of the race for the pink vote.
