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.

Iran's drive to obtain nuclear capability is a serious threat to the world - Moore

Commenting on the Iranian President's comments that Iran has entered an "industrial stage" in its production of nuclear fuel, Liberal Democrat Shadow Foreign Secretary, Michael Moore MP said "Iran's continued drive to obtain an independent nuclear capability is a serious threat to the world. While some may doubt the President's claims, there should be no question about Iran's intentions. The international community must be firm in its response and ensure that the sanctions against the regime are as tight and as tough as possible."
