A community will come together once more to make their voices heard over plans to build at least 14,000 new homes in Adlington.
The Supporters of Adlington Greenbelt Facebook group has organised a second protest against the plans put forward by the government's New Towns Taskforce.
Around 200 people are expected to gather at the Poynton Relief Road roundabout on Saturday, November 8.
Speaking after the previous demonstration on October 25, organiser Kasim Awan said: "The magnitude of this proposal means it will border the major neighbouring towns such as Macclesfield, Poynton and Stockport.
"People from all these areas attended the protest on Saturday, in solidarity with the people of Adlington, as they know what the proposed new town would mean for the welfare of their areas people, nature, infrastructure and NHS services."

The Adlington new town project is being led by Belport, a UK-based investment and management company, with Revcap as capital and delivery partner.
According to a website set up for the scheme, much of the Adlington site is owned by a joint venture between the two firms.
They are proposing to build 'at least' 14,000 modern homes with a mixture of low-to-medium rise apartments and town houses.
Freddie James, director at Belport, said: "Adlington will become a significant contributor to growth in the region, by providing new employment spaces and opportunities, homes for workers, and improved infrastructure.
"As such it will make a significant contribution to local, regional and national taxes and in return, residents will be able to access Government services like other residents of the area."
