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.

NOW WASH YOUR HANDS! - Robinson
Stephen Robinson says the Liberal Democrats will scrap Labour's political targets and allow greater freedom for NHS staff to put patients' interests first. He said, "This will allow doctors and nurses to use their clinical judgment to cut hidden waiting lists, deliver quality individual patient care, and improve infection control." The Lib Dems are also publishing "Now Wash Your Hands", a new survey of hospital infection control teams. Stephen said, "Every year the equivalent of seven and half district general sized hospitals are filled by people who pick up an infection during their stay."
