The Green Party has urged Stockport residents to send a message about the climate crisis by backing its candidates in the general election.
It plans to stand in all three Stockport seats in Parliament as it looks to the borough for its next MP. This includes the marginal areas of Cheadle and Hazel Grove, where Conservative MPs have majorities of less than 5,000.
The Denton and Reddish seat is set to be abolished in the next election as part of a constituency boundary review, with the Reddish wards being represented by the MP for Stockport, currently Labour's Navandu Mishra.

Alex Drury, the Green candidate for Cheadle, said: "It's important to me that everyone that wants to send a message with their vote that the climate crisis is important to them, they are given an opportunity to do that on the ballot paper.
"We've seen a lot of rolling back from climate change comments from Labour and the Conservatives over the last few years, this is a platform to put our views across about that."
The 41-year-old Gatley resident added: "The Conservatives don't have any councillors in Stockport at the moment, that's telling for their prospects in this election."
Mr Drury said he wasn't worried about potentially taking votes away from other parties, as he wanted to use his platform to push the Green agenda. This includes increasing renewable energy as a top priority to help people with the cost of living crisis.
Research has found that Hazel Grove is one of the seat where residents feel strongly about green issues which could decide which way the vote goes.

Jennifer Maas TV Business Writer A video game based on HBO’s dark teen drama “Euphoria” is a key suggestion from this year’s edition of Fandom‘s Inside Entertainment study, which highlights the “entertainment and gaming tug of war.” Per the user-contented-centric entertainment platform’s 2024 survey, which was released Monday, drama is potentially the top “untapped” genre for gaming companies, as drama fans who play video games prefer these genres: role-playing (RPG): 73%, adventure: 72%, simulation: 62%, sandbox/open world: 62%, puzzle: 60%. “What do we know about ‘Euphoria’ and why was it such a big hit? Obviously, you have an amazing cast, storyline — but what is the story? And it was a really interesting take on the genre at the time, because if you think about the other shows that were coming out, they are a lot more positive than ‘Euphoria,'” Fandom’s director of sales research and insights Ally Saraniti told Variety.

A post shared by AIF (@aif_uk)AIF CEO John Rostron said in a press release: “It’s with grave concern that we again sound the alarm to Government upon passing this critical milestone. UK festivals are disappearing at a worrying rate, and we as a nation are witnessing the erosion of one of our most successful and unique cultural industry sectors.”He continued: “We have done the research: a reduction of VAT to 5% on festival tickets over the next three years is a conservative, targeted and temporary measure that would save almost all of the festival businesses that are likely to fall by the wayside this year and many more over the years to come.
Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic How distraught is Annette, the severely troubled British mother of two played by Daisy Ridley in “Magpie?” She has gotten a short angular haircut, one that might, in another context, be the height of chic (very Isabella Rossellini). Except that the movie uses it as a symbolic expression of her trauma, like Mia Farrow’s iconic Vidal Sassoon cut in “Rosemary’s Baby.” Annette, who’s on some serious medication, looks at a mirror until it breaks. Does she have telekinetic powers? No, she broke it with her hand (which bleeds into the sink), but the force of her repressed rage is palpable.
