A council leader said “I will be on that bulldozer” to build a controversial garden village – and “will ram it down your throat”.
Labour’s Brenda Warrington hit back at Tories over their opposition to build 2,150 homes on green belt land in Hyde.
More than 3,400 people have objected to the plans, lodged by Tameside council, to build the Godley Green garden village which are due to go before the planning committee later this year.
It comes after two councillors wore protest t-shirts emblazoned with ‘Brenda the Bulldozer’ over her support for the new village.
Coun Warrington spoke out after a reference to her ‘bulldozer’ nickname by Tory councillor Liam Billington during the fiery meeting on Tuesday.
She said: “We want to grow Tameside, we want to have more houses in Tameside.
“And of course those houses will pay council tax and so we’re going to increase our growth agenda.
“Godley Green, I make no mistake, I will be on that first bulldozer and that is a promise.
“I will be on that bulldozer that actually starts to dig up ready to build houses on Godley Green and believe me it will be rammed down your throat. It really will.”

Under the plans the homes would be built to the north of Mottram Old Road, as well as ‘local centres’ which would include up to 1,300 sq m of retail, 1,600 sq m of commercial uses and 1,000 sq m of local community uses.
The properties will be split across two villages divided by Godley Brook, with 1,250
