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.

On the day Simon moved in, a car crashed into his garden- and it happened again last summer. Initially protective bollards were installed on the pavement by his house and the lines on the road repainted. Later enlarged signs, a new 'Bend' sign and reflector posts were provided. "I'm glad these safety measure are in place" said Janet "But it's still a dangerous junction and drivers need to drive with care".
