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.

BNP Target Scarborough
Since the autumn of 2005 the British National Party have developed a presence in Scarborough. There is one local activist, but most of their members travel from West Yorkshire, usually on Saturdays, to man a stall in the central area of the pedestrian precinct issuing recruiting leaflets and selling the party newspaper 'Voice of FREEDOM'. The stall is draped with the Union Jack, but does not give a clear indication that its materials are those of the BNP.

Liberal Democrats defy expectations and win in Dunfermline
At the start of this campaign, many political commentators thought that the Liberal Democrats would be fighting to retain the second place that they narrowly gained over the SNP in 2005 - or even fighting to stay ahead of the Conservatives. The result was a sensational Liberal Democrat victory.
