A wrecking ball next to the words save our green belt

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. 

Save our green belt

Do you agree with us that the green belt needs to be preserved, brownfield sites prioritised, and schools, transport, and GP places guaranteed?

Liz Lynne and Robin Lawrence nappy campaign

Real Nappy campaign Success

Following a long campaign led by Robin Lawrence and the Liberal Democrat Focus Team, Wolverhampton Council has decided to introduce a grant for new parents wishing to use washable nappies. Supported by West Midlands MEP Liz Lynne, Robin first raised this issue with the Council in 2004. Robin said "Thanks to our campaign and encouragement from other green campaigners, Wolverhampton Council has decided to make it easier for new parents to make the green switch to washable nappies. All of my children have used washables and I encourage other Park parents to take advantage of the council's £30 to switch to sustainable nappies too."
