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?

EVERY CHILD IS EQUAL..BUT THE GOVERNMENT'S CHILDREN ARE MORE EQUAL THAN YOURS

Personal details on every child in Essex including their name, date of birth, school, GP and parent's contact details, will be collected and stored on a government database - except the children of politicians and the rich and famous who are explicitly excluded. Liberal Democrats at Essex County Council have called for a full council debate on this project, named ContactPoint, which the group says is an unnecessary intrusion into the privacy of many children and their parents.
