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and Julian Lewis-Booth have launched a campaign to hear from residents what they think of the 373 Bus Route being withdrawn from service.The 373 provides a vital service from Hazel Grove to Stepping Hill giving elderly and vulnerable residents the means to attend hospital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

The 394 bus which serves residents, who need to get to Stepping Hill Hospital and surronding areas is potentially being scrapped Monday-Friday.William has already written to, Stockport Council, Derbyshire Council, Transport for Greater Manchester and High Peak Buses asking that they look very carefully at retaining this service as it crucial for so many in our community.The 394 provides a vital lifeline to the most vulnerable in our community and seeing its services cut would have wide reaching consequences.

Clean for the Queen is a national campaign to clean up our streets, parks and local areas.The aim - is for this to be one of the largest clean up operations in the world!William is leading a team of residents and Councillors to clean up some areas across our constituency. 

Sign my campaign to get Fairer Funding for all of our Stockport Schools.Many of our local schools have created petitions calling for Fairer Funding which I presented to Parliament late in 2015. Ensuring our local schools get the funding they deserve is crucial and we need your support to help make this happen. The more names we have the more we chance we have of securing fairer funding.
