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.

Higher fess hit student numbers
The number of students going to university has fallen since variable fees were introduced, statistics show. The figure dropped back to 40% of the 17-30 age group in 2006/07 from a high of 42% the previous year. Lecturers say the figures should serve as a warning to the government on the effects of fees on students.
