"Eco-Towns" May Run Into Objections
"Eco-Towns" May Run Into Objections UK: April 4, 2008 LONDON - Fifteen potential sites for new "eco-towns" across England have been published in a drive to tackle a national housing shortage while minimising damage to the environment. Each site would provide between 5,000 and 15,000 low carbon emission homes in the first new towns since the 1960s. But the proposals are likely to run into stiff opposition from local residents in many areas.
