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.

HOT ON HEALTH

The new Health Centre at West Byfleet opened in July 2003 is now hot on heart failure thanks to the generosity of the Busenhart Morgan Evans Foundation which donated a state of the art echo-cardiogram machine costing more than £60,000. Anne Lee (Woking Liberal Democrat's Parliamentary Spokesperson) was shown around the centre by Doctors Philip and Annette Cummin and learned how West Byfleet and Woking patients now have rapid access to checks for heart failure and other heart conditions using the new echo machine at the Centre. The scanner is also used by a visiting consultant radiologist to carry out abdominal scans. The funding for this is met by regular donations from The Friends of West Byfleet Health Centre.
