Withdrawal from the Greater Manchester Spatial Framework Motion RE: Withdrawal from the Greater Manchester Spatial Framework Amendment This Council Meeting notes: That all councils are required by government to have a Local Plan which identifies land for housing, offices and industry; Stockport’s current Development Plan which was adopted by the Council in 2011 comprises of the Core strategy as well as retained policies from the 2006 UDP Review; That the proposed Greater Manchester Spatial Framework (GMSF) is the approach approved and entered into by the former Liberal Democrat Executive to fulfilling this requirement back in 2014; That the GMSF is a 20-year plan, requiring a third more housing land to be identified than would be required by a 15-year plan, as produced by many other Local Authorities, and is based upon growth assumptions over such a long period which cannot be verified for either a 15 or 20 year plan; That the initial first draft GMSF proposals highlight the need for significant improvements in transport infrastructure, the provision of health care and schools alongside the release of green belt in Stockport; That residents of Stockport have engaged extensively in the consultation and that the consultation was extended into January 2017 following representation and concerns from residents, MP’s, locally elected members and Council leaders; That residents and elected members have raised a number of concerns about the initial draft of the GMSF especially around infrastructure provision, housing need and the significant proposed loss of green belt; That it welcomes the support from Andrew Gwynne MP for Denton & Reddish, Anne Coffey MP for Stockport, Mary Robinson MP for Cheadle and William Wragg MP for Hazel Grove who have spoken in Parliament on behalf of constituents and highlighted and questioned a number of issues and raised concerns within the draft GMSF; That Stockport residents should be congratulated for their full and robust examination of the opportunities and challenges that the GMSF highlights in its current format, especially on the areas of green belt; That the GMSF proposals were developed by AGMA whose meetings were attended by the former Liberal Democrat councillor who was Leader of the Council at that time. The former Liberal Democrat Leader of Stockport Council was appointed by AGMA as the Lead Councillor across Greater Manchester for Planning & Housing with responsibilities which included the plan to develop the GMSF proposals; That Greater Manchester councils have a long tradition of working together effectively where there is common agreement, and of working separately or in clusters where there is not common agreement; and That the newly elected Labour Executive and Stockport Councillors continue to support this approach. This Council Meeting further notes: That the former Liberal Democrat Executive instructed Stockport Council Officers to work on the formulation and preparation of the GMSF for AGMA in March 2015 and that this Council resolved to enter an agreement to jointly prepare the GMSF with the other Greater Manchester authorities in April 2015, in the expectation that an acceptable plan would be proposed after two complete rounds of consultation; That this council has a duty under Section 33a of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 to cooperate with other planning authorities; and that this duty was fulfilled in developing our current Development Plan created in 2011. It has also been fulfilled by neighbouring authorities outside of Greater Manchester without the need for a joint process for developing each Local Plan; and That, at its last meeting on 1st December 2016, this Council approved work to begin on Stockport’s Local Plan. The Local Plan needs to be developed irrespective of whether GMSF goes forward and in what form, and is necessary to produce the evidence base for future planning strategy irrespective of the GMSF. This Council Meeting therefore resolves to ask the Executive Leader to: Make arrangements to ensure that the Council continues to engage with the GM Spatial Framework consultation, working to ensure that the views of residents collated from the initial consultation are considered and acted upon in any future proposals; Make arrangements to comply with the duty to cooperate with other planning authorities; and pursue Stockport’s refreshed Local Plan; Ensure that residents are fully consulted on any changes made to GMSF proposals following the representations made from the first consultation via a second consultation; Ensure that if the extent of current large-scale green belt proposals for Stockport remain as part of any revised GMSF proposals, Stockport should look to withdraw from the GMSF process; and Ensure that the Labour Executive of Stockport Council is committed to a vote in Council on any final GMSF proposal and that they will not commit Stockport Council to agreeing to the final GMSF if it is opposed by the majority of elected members voting in the Council meeting. Proposed: Cllr. Brian Bagnall Seconded: Cllr. Kenny Blair .

    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.

    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.

  • NEW SHADOW CABINET 2020 Who’S In, Who’S Out?
    NEW SHADOW CABINET 2020 Who’s In, Who’s Out? BRIEFING PAPER blackcountrychamber.co.uk Who’s in and Who’s out? Sir Keir Starmer, newly elected Leader of the UK Labour Party, set about building his first Shadow Cabinet, following his election win in the Labour Party leadership contest. In our parliamentary system, a cabinet reshuffle or shuffle is an informal term for an event that occurs when the head of a government or party rotates or changes the composition of ministers in their cabinet. The Shadow Cabinet is a function of the Westminster system consisting of a senior group of opposition spokespeople. It is the Shadow Cabinet’s responsibility to scrutinise the policies and actions of the government, as well as to offer alternative policies.

  • The Rt Hon Matt Hancock MP Secretary of State for Health And
    The Rt Hon Matt Hancock MP Secretary of State for Health and Social Care Department of Health and Social Care Ministerial Correspondence and Public Enquiries Unit 39 Victoria Street London SW1H 0EU 13 March 2020 Dear Secretary of State, Coronavirus and the social care workforce We are writing as cross-party Parliamentarians concerned about the urgent need to provide support to the social care sector in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic. The social care sector plays a crucial role in supporting hundreds of thousands of vulnerable people in high-risk groups for Covid-19. There is a need to ensure both that there are strong protocols in place to keep vulnerable residents safe, and also to ensure continuity of care in the event that a significant proportion of the social care workforce has to take time off during the pandemic. We welcome the Chancellor’s commitment to provide local government with immediate financial support to protect adult social care services dealing with Covid-19 outbreaks, and the commitment that workers who self-isolate will be eligible for statutory sick pay from day one. We also welcome the guidance from NHS England advising NHS Trusts to: ‘Ensure that any member of staff, including bank staff and sub-contractors, who has to be physically present at an NHS facility to carry out their duties, receives full pay for any period in which they are required to self- isolate as a result of public health advice’. However, we are concerned that these actions will not protect the quarter of the social care workforce who are currently employed on zero-hours contracts, and that the drop in income which will result from receiving SSP may act as a disincentive to some social care workers to self- isolate, putting vulnerable people at risk.

    Douglas Oakervee Independent Chair, Oakervee Review Department for Transport Albany House 94-98 Petty France London SW1H 9EA Dear Douglas Oakervee Review Submission from Greater Manchester Parliamentarians As members of the Greater Manchester All Party Parliamentary Group (GM APPG) we wanted to welcome your review on the future of HS2 and to ensure that the collective views of Greater Manchester Parliamentarians are considered and taken on board. Greater Manchester MPs of all parties work collaboratively to provide a strong voice for the city- region in Westminster, working alongside the Mayor and local business and political leaders to help maximise future investment and growth for the benefit of the communities throughout Greater Manchester. We want to emphasise the following key points: After decades of underinvestment in strategic rail infrastructure and transport in the North, HS2 and Northern Powerhouse Rail, if combined with a clear commitment to much needed investment in our intra city transport networks, will provide the basis for a once-in-a-generation programme to secure the levels of investment and productivity in our northern cities that is essential to transform the North’s economic output and the life chances of residents here. Given the scale of the challenge to rebalance and level-up the UK, the GMAPPG strongly believes that choices cannot be made between HS2 and Northern Powerhouse Rail. Only by delivering the two initiatives together, as a future strategic rail network can we achieve the transformational economic outcomes that we share with Government. In making our case we would urge your team to consider the following points: • The full and timely delivery of Northern Powerhouse Rail (NPR) and HS2 Phase 2b is central to Greater Manchester’s wider ambitions for the role of rail in city-region growth.
