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.

The Fuel Poverty Bill has been thrown out of parliament because not enough MPs could be bothered to vote.
Full result of the election on 19th March:
Westmorland and Lonsdale MP Tim Farron has pledged to be in Parliament tomorrow to give his support to a new parliamentary bill aimed at ending fuel poverty.
MP Tim Farron today had a high level meeting with NHS Cumbria's Chief Executive, Sue Page where the two discussed progress towards the development of a new Cancer Unit at Westmorland General Hospital.
MP Tim Farron will this Saturday take to the hills around Cartmel to compete in the Ultimate Sticky Toffee 16KM Challenge to raise funds for a local charity campaign hoping to raise enough money to redevelop the playground in Allithwaite village.
Last week the BNP candidate penned a rant of some length to the letters page of the Herald. At times of uncertainty including worries about financial security and employment the BNP will always seek to tap into people's fear for now and the future. For a few it is tantalising to show support for this party, perhaps to give the other parties, especially the government a kick for failing them.
