On Friday 21st February, a meeting will be held in Manchester to decide the fate of the 375 bus service. As many of you will know, the 375 is the last remaining bus service for the residents of Hawk Green and Mellor, and it is now at threat of being scrapped by Transport for Greater Manchester .

The revised Greater Manchester Spatial Framework proposals, published in January, suggest building 250 houses on and around Tangshutt Fields.

This petition, to be presented jointly by Andrew Gwynne MP (Denton & Reddish) & William Wragg MP (Hazel Grove), opposes expansion of the Bredbury Parkway Industrial Estate into the Tame Valley, which is comprised of Greenbelt land.

History

A group of Conservative MPs from Greater Manchester submitted petitions on behalf of thousands of local people speaking out against building on Manchester’s greenbelt as proposed by the Greater Manchester Spatial Framework.

Protect Our Greenbelt!

I am writing to you about the threat posed to our local countryside by potential massive building development.

Potential Closure of the Bredbury and Marple Royal Mail Delivery Offices

Hazel Grove Councillors, Oliver Johnstone and Julian Lewis-Booth have launched a campaign to hear from residents what they think of the 373 Bus Route being withdrawn from service.The 373 provides a vital service from Hazel Grove to Stepping Hill giving elderly and vulnerable residents the means to attend hospital appointments.

When I was elected to represent our area, one of main issues I heard on the door step in Hazel Grove was the construction of SEMMMS.I have therefore decided to launch this survey allowing residents in Hazel Grove to let me know how the construction has affected them and what lessons the Council and construction company can learn for future projects.Every response will be shared with the Council and I hope to make this investment can ensure lessons are learnt.

I was made aware last week that the Lloyds Bank in Woodley is going to be closing its doors in July.I think it is crucial we ensure this bank stays in our local area, I will therefore be writing to the Chief Executive of Lloyds Banking Group asking that they urgently reconsider this decision as well as launching this petition.If you sign up, you will receive updtes on the campaign, I will also ensure the petition is sent to Lloyds.If you know someone who will be affected by this, but isn't online they can call my Office on 0161 427 0660.

I was made aware late this week (starting 18.04.2016) that the Romiley, NatWest branch would be closing along with the branch in Cheadle.On Friday 22nd April I sent a letter to the Chief Executive of NatWest asking that they reconsider this decision as many residents use the branch. I am concerned that many branches are closing down across the country claiming that services are moving online, even though many residents don't use online banking and do in fact require a face to face service.
