If you think Stockport Council should be having a proper debate about how best to deal with the problem of legal highs, please support our campaign and sign our petition.
Stockport Lib Dems went into the Full Council meeting on 2nd July looking forward to a proper debate on how best to tackle the problem of legal highs.
All parties agree is a real issue in the borough, ruining lives and needing quick action.
But, on this important issue, Labour and the Conservatives had cooked up a plan together to block debate after less than 20 minutes. A procedural motion was used at the Town Hall to stop anyone other than the first two speakers (one Tory, one Labour) having their say.
Stockport Lib Dems believe that we can do better by listening to the experts and developing a strategy based on the evidence of what works, but the other parties didn’t even want to hear it.
You can help undo this by supporting our campaign to get that proper debate here in Stockport. Sign our petition here.
