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.

Letter from Parliament - Paul Rowen MP
Last week we discussed the Human Embryo and Fertilisation Bill, a very controversial bill on which MPs had a free vote. I had been very heavily lobbied on the topic from both sides, but as a member of the All Party Pro-Life Group I supported amendments put forward by my very good colleagues Jim Dobbin, John Pugh and Ann Widdecombe.
