Thank You
We would like to thank the people that voted The Liberal Party for Wayne Harrison (Hale Central) and Neil Taylor (Timperley) at the May 3rd local elections.
As a new party here in Trafford we have a lot to do, and perhaps you would like to come and join us.
As we watched Trafford Council go into no overall control on May 3rd 2018 we will be watching to what the developments on this will be.
So far Labour have been doing a lot of talk about wards north of the Borough, and they already mention the scrapping of development on green belt in Flixton, but we have big concerns about the proposed plans for The Timperley Wedge and The Trafford Liberal Party want to see these plans scrapped.
Why not sign up and become a member of The Liberal Party.

Your Green Belt is Under Threat
Greater Manchester Spatial Framework
Following election of the Mayor in May 2017 part of the GMSF may become the Spatial Strategy and part will remain a joint development plan document to be adopted by the resolution of the full Councils of all 10 authorities
The Timperley Wedge, a green belt area between Manchester / airport and Trafford.
This green belt area is now under serious threat, and we must protect the lungs that nature has created.
Greater Manchester Spatial Framework The second draft of the plan is currently being developed, with a view to publish it in June 2018. Following publication of the draft plan, there will be a 12-week consultation with the public.
The statement that “3,300 residential units in a mix of housing types and tenures. Whilst the majority will be higher value, low density properties” is alarming.
Trafford Conservatives have got this well and truly on their radar, and Trafford Labour have also singled out the Timperley Wedge for prime development. The Trafford Lib Dems claim that they want to protect the green belt, but they want to build an additional 40 car parking spaces on Lark Hill a green space in the heart of Timperley. Trafford is unable to maintain the existing infrastructure it has in place, with the roads collapsing, a mass of potholes damaging vehicles. Plus oversubscribed schools and a local authority that is unable to cope as it is.
A huge amount of local greenspace /greenbelt is under threat.
Timplerley Wedge, Davenport Green: 3,300 homes, office space;
Wording from the MEN
development in Trafford – linked to the neighbouring airport city expansion – is likely to prove controversial.
The plan allocates a large slice of land south of Ridgeway Road in Timperley and stretching round and down to Davenport Green as suitable for 3,300 mostly luxury homes and 50,000 sqm of office space.
It notes that this site includes some green belt, but says that thanks to urban development nearby it no longer feels like open countryside – and stresses sports fields such as those at Bowdon rugby club would be protected.
The location would be 'attractive' for families and could sustain an entirely new community, it says, noting that the land has 'long been identified' as somewhere that could support airport-related development.
Nevertheless nearby residents are unlikely to be impressed, having repeatedly opposed the development of green space in Davenport Green over the years.
The fields have long been viewed as an essential buffer between the airport and communities and were the subject of a long battle five years ago to keep them out of Trafford council's development strategy.”
Here is what is on the map for development.
