Check out the press tomorrow, Gascoigne Wood has been selected as the primary location. Although we aren't out of the woods yet, Willow Green is still on the table in case Gascoigne Wood goes pear shaped.

Hi,
Is this a new announcement ie 'new news', because we knew G Wood was top of the list anyway???? Which press are you referring to, one particular paper or general press?? Sorry, I'm confused!!

Are we using the wrong criteria in our opposition to the proposed eco town "Willow Green"?
We base our arguments on the illogicallity of building in areas devoid of a suitable transport system and the immorality of using a green field sites.

However bureaucrats, politicians and property developers have shown themselves to completely ignore logic and morality. The only criterion that bureaucrats and politicians recognise is power and the property developers only recognise money.

I have no idea how these two may be combatted. Their concentration on power and money is so great that they don't even hear anything else. It seems that the only thing which rocks their boat is the exposure of some scandal

Its a pity that prime minister Gordon Brown is not a ship's captain, for then we could have him removed on the grounds of insanity, for this proposal is certainly insane.

John Grogan floating high on his pre-retiremnt cloud nine, continues to trot out his specious argument of "Affordable Housing". Even the property developers admit that the cost of the so-called eco house is likely to be about 15% to 25% above the cost of an ordinary house,
which is exactly why they want to build them. Bigger the price, bigger the profit.
