Police or plastic? - Opinion Poll launched
We have launched an opinion poll on this web site to see if people prefer the government to spend money on ID cards or more police. Read our article and then vote.
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.

Thank you to everyone in Ninefields who took part in the recent survey of residents' views organised by Liberal Democrat campaigner, Phil Chadburn.
Cllr Fraser Macpherson, LibDem West End Councillor, has published his latest West End Community Council Update which includes articles on :
Under a bold new Lib Dem plan, town centre facilities such as the University, Rail/Bus Station, Cathedral, Shopping Centres, Market and Car Parks would be linked up by a 'Circular Bus Service' operating on a very frequent basis. Local Liberal Democrats are proposing a detailed feasibility study into a new plan to cut congestion, noise and pollution in Chelmsford.
A campaign to support local Post Offices has clocked up an early success but these same Post Offices were left reeling by the latest national announcement. Local Liberal Democrats launched a campaign to save the Post Office Card Account two weeks ago and have already collected hundreds of signatures.
West Chelmsford MP Simon Burns has been accused by Lib Dem Stephen Robinson of caving in to the Government over the introduction of identity cards. The Identity Cards Bill passed into law with most Conservatives abstaining on the final vote and only the Liberal Democrats solidly against.
