Wishart comments on budget vote
Following the stage one vote on the Scottish budget
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.

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.
