Do you have one of these near you?
The government is proposing to build 10 new towns throughout the country and they are calling them "eco towns". One of the listed sites is about 10 miles from us and the plan is for 15000 houses in the middle of a huge band of countryside and farmland between here and the outskirts of Leicester, this will be take over three small existing villages and a small airfield and is causing much uproar!
The government are not referring to any local councils or planning committees as they will make the final decision on which sites are to be used. The shortlist is being decided on the 27 Feb.
And just as an aside ... there's nothing "eco" about the plans for the properties at all (surprise surprise!)
Do you have a proposed site near you? What are your feelings on these new towns? Do you think we really need this much extra housing - and if so why?
