Crush planning and give the oligopoly of housebuilders a free hand to… improve on their £14bn profits by accruing permissions which aren’t built out? Build less than 20% ‘affordable’ by pleading poverty?

Please be there on 22nd June to show how much we all care.

Altrincham & Sale West, the home of Carrington Moss and Timperley Wedge - where GM Labour are not following Labour's Golden Rules!!! Rather ironic that the Labour manifesto was launched in GM Keir Starmer Angela Rayner 🌹 Connor Rand

Take a look at the data in Lorraine's latest blog. It is very revealing - a relief road that will not relieve anyone!!!

Same here! In Labour-controlled Gtr Mcr they are not even following Labour's Golden Rules - apparently they don't apply here! Rosie P 🍃💚🍃🌳🚲💧 Vicky Spratt

“Fair value” instead of hope value. Look forward to seeing how that plays out in the tribunals. It certainly won’t speed up planning.
Also I am very worried about how councils will use these CPO powers. Round here they wanted to use it for market homes & no social housing

Absolutely spot-on by Richard Benwell and Wildlife and Countryside Link

Why don't these Golden Rules apply to Labour-controlled Greater Manchester? Keir Starmer Angela Rayner 🌹 Andy Burnham Guardian Environment Annabel Tiffin Joseph Timan

With the General Election just weeks away, how can you be sure which party is committed to the best action for nature?

We’re putting big questions on nature & climate to politicians at the big #NatureClimateDebate at Chester Zoo next week

Labour Minister going to be very busy indeed with all these proposals to make decisions above local councils

(Prisons yesterday)

Absolutely not!

This is an absolute mess. Councils can’t afford to house people in London so force them out.

We need Gov’t to fund social housing.

Yes instead, election discussions are around things like ‘freedom to buy’ which do NOTHING for people in greatest need

Friends of Carrington Moss 💚🌳🐾🚴‍♀️🐴🚶‍♂️💚 Meanwhile back in the centre-building Lots of Luxury Nothings for Umpteenth Homes/Empty Capital Accumulators/Unregulated Tourist Lets. Because if they actually housed the homeless by building council homes what excuse for destroying vital greenfields for MORE luxury nothings?

Worrying study from Canada on impact of new supply on house prices:
'Adding new supply in conformance with what many call the 'law of supply and demand', did not lower home prices for renters and buyers in Vancouver. What it did do is make our urban land tremendously expensive.'

Sadly not in Gtr Mcr - Labour are planning to unnecessarily build on 2,400 hectares of peat mosses, Grades 1,2&3 agri land, woodland & wetland habitats, land that is essential to climate mitigation, food security & nature's recovery! It is a total betrayal of future generations!

📢In just 2 weeks time, tens of thousands of people will march to Parliament to demand that whoever leads the next government, they do more to #RestoreNatureNow

The dire need is clear - pollution, species extinction and habitat decimation threatens not just wildlife, but our own

Friends of Carrington Moss 💚🌳🐾🚴‍♀️🐴🚶‍♂️💚 It's extraordinary: just measures to increase demand, which will be inflationary.
It's the availability of homes for genuinely affordable rent that's needed, not speculative development on green spaces for the private market.

Thanks Cllr Simon Lepori 🔶🇬🇧🌈🐝 very useful 'Introducing binding targets for affordable & social housing set by the local authority' would be good if those targets had to meet local need (ie address existing waiting list numbers)

But are you setting a target for Local Authorities to achieve it? Will you have a target for market housing?
