  • The Rt Hon Boris Johnson MP 30 January 2020 Prime Minister 10 Downing Street London SW1A 2AA
    The Rt Hon Boris Johnson MP 30 January 2020 Prime Minister 10 Downing Street London SW1A 2AA Dear Prime Minister, We are writing to you as a group of cross-party parliamentarians to express our grave concern over the contents of US President Donald Trump’s so-called ‘peace plan’ for Israel and the Palestinians. The plan presented on 28 January shows contempt for the rights of the Palestinian people and international law, and provides no realistic basis for a return to negotiations. Instead, it makes peace less likely, and threatens to undermine a fundamental principle of the post-WWII international legal order: the prohibition of annexation and territorial conquest. The long-standing position of the UK is that a negotiated peace settlement must be agreed to achieve a two-state solution based on the 1967 borders, leading to a safe and secure Israel living alongside a viable and sovereign Palestinian state that has secure and recognised borders, and with Jerusalem as a shared capital of both states. The vision presented by the US administration is one where Palestinians would have none of these: no true shared capital in Jerusalem, no sovereign control of its borders or security, and with Israeli control far beyond the Green Line. As a group of 16 UK charities warned this week: “if implemented [the plan] will lead to the formal annexation of Palestinian land, perpetual Israeli occupation, and the negation of Palestinians’ collective right to self-determination.” It is a plan that the Palestinians have no choice but to reject if they wish to maintain their fundamental rights, but that they will be punished for not accepting.

  • Reddish Baths, Library & Community Centre Approved Planning Brief
    Planning Brief Reddish Library/Community Centre/Swimming Baths/Mortuary Reddish Stockport March 2009 Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council Planning Brief Reddish Library/Community Centre/Swimming Baths/Mortuary 1.0 OBJECTIVE 1.1 The purpose of this brief is to provide planning guidance to developers to guide the regeneration/development of this important site close to Reddish District Centre. This brief is prepared by the Regeneration Economic Development and Tourism Section, Environment and Economy Directorate in consultation with the Development Control Section, Planning Policy Section, and N.P.S. Property Consultants who are the Council’s Estates and Asset Management Advisors. 2.0 BACKGROUND 2.1 Location and Context (Plan1) This is a prominent site located on Gorton Road, 0.5 Km from Houldsworth Square and 1km from North Reddish Local Centre, and comprises 3 buildings plus an outbuilding with separate uses. The site is bounded by: to the north: by Spencer Street to the east: by unnamed passageway between Spencer Street and Melbourne Street to the south: by Melbourne Street to the west: by Gorton Road. 2.2 Opportunities This prominent group of civic buildings has significant townscape value: their public frontage to Gorton Road represents a local landmark and contributes positively to the quality and appearance of this part of Reddish, an area of predominantly residential housing that developed in the mid-late 19th century to serve local industries. 2 The group has a fine and imposing frontage, largely unaltered from its original design and external appearance. Whilst the interiors to the fire station, library and baths have all been altered to varying degrees, they still maintain a strong sense of their original character, form and function.

  • Andrew Gwynne MP Councillor George Newton Councillor Claire Reid Councillor Jack Naylor Labour's Elected Representatives in Denton South, Tameside
    Andrew Gwynne MP Councillor George Newton Councillor Claire Reid Councillor Jack Naylor Labour's elected representatives in Denton South, Tameside. Team Denton South Wednesday 30 September 2020 via email Dear Elise, RE: Invitation to Haughton Dale Local Nature Reserve in the Tame Valley We are writing to you as the Elected Representatives for the Denton South ward which, in case you are not aware shares a border with Stockport MBC and indeed the Bredbury and Woodley ward. We are writing to invite you to visit, at your earliest convenience, the area where the Tame Valley crosses the border from Tameside to Stockport, as we would like to be confident you appreciate the natural beauty of this part of the Greater Manchester greenbelt, as at the moment we are not sure this is the case. We are sure like us you do always try to do your absolute best for your community, and for us a large part of that includes protecting the health and wellbeing of all the residents as well as the environment. That is why for some time we have led the campaign to oppose the planning application to extend Bredbury Industrial Estate, and we have received intensive and abundant support from our community, and the Stockport community, in this objective. Extending the Bredbury Industrial Estate in the way that is outlined in the recent planning application would destroy a large portion of our very precious Tame Valley, a resource that is enjoyed by thousands of residents from Tameside, Stockport and further afield every year. We as the elected representatives simply cannot see how this is justifiable, quite frankly it is environmental destruction.
