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.

"mayday warning" for democracy
The Lib Dems have called Conservative shadow immigration minister Damian Green's arrest a "mayday warning" for democracy amid cross-party anger over the move. Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg told the BBC that he was "really shocked" by Mr Green's arrest. This is something you might expect from a tin-pot dictatorship, not in a modern democracy," he said. Given the culture of "extraordinary secrecy" in Whitehall, it was getting harder to hold the government to account and opposition MPs had a constitutional duty to keep "ministers on their toes", he added.
