Finding out and monitoring what's going on

Stockport Friends of the Earth are concerned about protecting and preserving our local environment.

We invite Council officers along to our meetings from time to time. They talk to us about what they are doing and planning to do, and we discuss issues of concern including, of course, climate change.

The Goyt Valley

The Goyt Valley is home to many rare and protected species, and is a valuable natural resource, one of the few truly green areas left in our borough.

Stockport Friends of the Earth wish to ensure that The Goyt Valley can continue to be enjoyed by the people of Stockport as a tranquil place to visit away from the noise of road traffic.

Sustainable Transport

If we travelled in ways that actually benefited our health and our environment, we would have safe roads, cleaner air and a better quality of life. More info
